Kerry and I started running to keep fit in January 2014, we had both signed up for the Sure 'Run to the beat' 10k run in September.
Unfortunately, Kerry had a motorcycle accident on Friday 27th June which resulted in her losing one of her legs.
Kerry has been very strong and inspired loads of people with her positivity. She wants to make some money for the Essex Air Ambulance because they played a HUGE part in saving Kerry's life.
This team has been set up to allow us to raise a significant amount of money as our way of saying thank you.
Essex Air Ambulance, unlike NHS emergency services, is a Charity providing a free life-saving Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for the critically ill and injured of Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.
Specialist Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics can be rushed to the scene of an incident with life-saving support equipment to deliver advanced clinical care that is normally only found in the Hospital Emergency Department. Once stabilised, the patient will be conveyed by air or land to the most appropriate hospital for their needs.
Deployed on average 2-3 times a day, the HEMS Teams are most commonly dispatched to patients with serious illness or injury caused by such incidents as traffic collisions, falls from height, heart attacks, stabbings, cardiac arrests and stroke.
