Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So this year whilst I take a break from co driving I thought it would be a good idea to take up a different challenge and to raise awareness and raise some sponsorship for the air ambulance. Few of my friends in the rally community have used them in the past and it's never a good thing when you hear it's been needed, but if it wasn't for these guys many wouldn't be here or be in one piece. 

As a competitor when your strapped in the car counting down the clock the last thing on your mind is  having an accident. But it happens. 

One of my close rallying friends Dan Saunders recently needed Wales Air Ambulance, the accident happened on Epynt ranges near Brecon. They went off the road at high speed causing himself 3 fractures in his back and a pelvic fracture. He was then air lifted to hospital for x-rays and the next day went under major surgery on his back. He is now on the road to recovery and looks forward to getting back into the car next year. This is one reason why I have chosen Wales Air Ambulance.

A message from Dan "I would like to thank Wales Air Ambulance for helping me in my hour of need, if I was more fit id also be taking on this challenge with Richard. Id also like to wish Richard all the best on his challenge! If in doubt... flat out!"

My aim is to raise £250 or more, it's a fraction of the cost to what it takes to get them machines in the sky but every little helps. 

The challenge ...

I'm swapping my race boots for a pair of running shoes. 

The Cardiff half marathon ... I have never run anything near this distance but I'm Hoping with some training and determination to get under the 1.59 mark.

I WILL FINISH THIS!!!
