We are trying to raise £1250 for Midlands Air Ambulance. They desperately need new helmets for the Helicopter Pilots who work tirelessly saving lives on a daily basis.
£1250 would buy one of these helmets for Midlands Air Ambulance.
Here at Stratique, we aren't the fitest of athletes but, as a team we are in training to run 10K by November - we are currently at 1 mile!!
The Midlands Air Ambulance is the only Charity responsible for funding and operating three Air Ambulances serving the communities of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands. This constitutes the largest air ambulance operating region in the UK.
Since 1991, the Charity has responded to more than 34,000 missions averaging 3,000 per year or nearly ten each day, making it one of the longest established and busiest Air Ambulance organisations in the UK.
The Charity’s three aircraft each carry a crew comprising Pilot, two Paramedics or Flight Doctors plus full life-support medical equipment. Operating from strategically located regional air bases, the maximum flying time to hospital from anywhere in the region is less than 15 minutes.
What is not widely known is that Midlands Air Ambulance receives no Government or National Lottery funding. £6 million is needed each year to keep its three Air Ambulances operational which is donated entirely by the public and local businesse
Wish us luck, come and support us on the day and, if possible please give generously to this great cause. Hopefully you will never need the Air Ambulance but, it's good to know they are on hand if you ever need them!
Thanks in advance
Andy, Mel, Charlie and Graham at Stratique!
