We both work for Barclays in Snow Hill, Birmingham - our chosen charity partner is the amazing Midlands Air Ambulance (MAAC) and we want to play our small part in supporting real, every day heroes who are dedicated to saving peoples lives. Without any funding from the Government or the National Lottery every mission the charity undertakes costs on average £2500 with 6 - 8 missions every day. This is only funded by the generosity of the general public and business across the 6 counties they serve.

The Charity is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and the Air 25 Bear Grylls Survival Challenge will be a challenge like no other. We want to raise £25,000 to celebrate the 25 years the charity has been going and to help save 10 peoples lives.

We are very proud and fortunate to be working with the Bear Grylls Team who have designed this exclusive challenge for the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

An intensive 5 day survival challenge set in one of the most challenging environments, this challenge culminates in a 36 hour expedition, putting skills such as tracking, skinning, and crossing to the ultimate in difficult terrain to the test. It will be the hardest challenge in the history of the charity. If you're a Bear Grylls fan you will know how extreme this will be.

Please help us to raise the £25,000 so that we can help save more lives!

However small or large your donation please know you have contributed to supporting our life saving crews.

Thank you for you support and wish us luck because we are going to need it!!!
