Why your donation matters
"If it wasn't for the Air Ambulance, I would not have survived."
These are the words of biker Neil Akers, 35, a father-of-one from Horsham, West Sussex, who miraculously survived after being hit by a van.
Neil suffered brain damage, a fractured left arm including severe nerve damage, a collapsed right lung, a ruptured left knee, two broken ribs, a broken finger and cracked teeth.
He was treated and then airlifted by the Sussex Air Ambulance to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
He said: "The doctors said I'm lucky to be alive. It's amazing that I'm still here really and my wife and son have pulled me through.
