Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am lucky enough to be running the Virgin London Marathon this year, it will be my first (hopefully not last) marathon.  I'm training hard at the moment and am running in aid of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance Appeal, the Air Ambulance Appeal is entirely dependent upon public support to raise the £500,000 a year to keep the service flying.

This is only a third of the running costs of the helicopter. The remaining two thirds are funded by the police who use it for various incidents.  Over the years the crews have attended thousands of incidents. Sadly almost half the incidents are road traffic accidents, but it also gets called out to horse riding and sports injuries, industrial and farm accidents, fires and medical emergencies.

The service they provide is second to none and something i think were all guilty of taking for granted, so come on and dig a little deeper for this worthy cause.

Thanks once again
