Story

On Saturday 3rd October, walkers are conquering Northern Ireland's highest peak. Standing at 2,789 ft, Donard is the highest of the Mourne Mountains and offers extensive and beautiful views from its summit. 

This event is to support Air Ambulance NI, the region's only helicopter emergency medical service. Each and every day, Air Ambulance NI, in partnership with the NI Ambulance Service (NIAS), attend the most critically ill and injured patients, providing pre-hospital interventions and care at the scene before they are transported to the most appropriate hospital for their injuries. Each day, Air Ambulance NI requires £8,200 to stay operational.

It is through charity fundraising events like this that allows the helicopter and medical team to continue to save lives, brains and limbs in the region. Thank you for your support.
