Story

My reasons to support Devon Air Ambulance

1) Several years ago my Dad lived in the Forest of Dean miles from anywhere.  He had a heart condition and whilst visiting him I was concerned enough to call an Ambulance.  It took a long time to arrive as he was so remote.  When the they did arrive they were so concerned that within 2 minutes of arriving they'd called in the Air Ambulance.  He was airlifted to Gloucester Hospital where he stayed for several weeks, initially in intensive care.  The Air Ambulance saved his life.  No question.

2) As a regular off road runner in the hidden trails, remote footpaths and along the Coastal path of the South Hams, I know if I found someone in urgent need of help (or even if I needed it) it would take too long to get there, if at all, by road.

For these reasons I'm happy to raise money for the Devon Air Ambulance by running Exeter Half Marathon

Surely that must be worth a few quid?
