Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Thames Valley Air Ambulance are at the frontline saving lives covering three counties, essentially bringing hospital expertise and care to patients. They rely totally on generous donations to provide life saving treatment, and last year attended 2,670 callouts. Each of these costs in the region of £3,325 with no funding from the government or the National Lottery. 

The crew appreciate so much the individuals and organisations who fundraise, keeping this amazing charity to continue to provide specialist care at the frontline. I benefited personally 3 years ago when they saved my life, and I'll be forever grateful.

I'll be playing a marathon repertoire of pieces, completing my challenge on Sunday 26 April, the day the London marathon of 26.2 miles would have taken place. 

💥UPDATE💥 I've achieved a double marathon since the start of my challenge! I've now played the piano for 52.4 hours - ending my challenge at 448 pieces of music 🎶 please mention to whoever you speak to, or spread on social media that I'm raising funds for the TVAA 💙

A huge thank you for anything you can give! And if you're a tax payer just indicate on the dropdown box on the donation page and the government will increase your donation an extra 25p for every £1 you give.

A perfect way of using the lockdown period!

Many fundraising events in the UK have been postponed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst we are all hopeful many of these events will go ahead at a later date, many charities across the UK have been left struggling to maintain their services.

Donating is totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
