This is the ApelElain fundraising page for the Wales Air Ambulance.

Elain James was antenatally diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease. Following a short period of stability at home Elain's condition suddenly deteriorated in June 2010. Elain was kept overnight in ICU at Bronglais General Hospital but the following day she still wasn't deemed stable enough to make a 2 hour journey down to Cardiff, the nearest specialist Cardiac Centre. It was at this point the services of the Wales Air Ambulance were called for. Elain was swiftly transported down the the landing site and flown down to Cardiff with her mummy by her side. The journey took just 25minutes.

For now Elain is home and stable but will need more surgery in the near future. We are hoping things remain stable enough for her not to need the services of the Air Ambulance again but can live safe in the knowledge that if needed, Elain can be transported to the nearest Cardiac Centre in less than 30mins.

Wales Air Ambulance is tun entirely on charitable donations therefore every penny raised will be keeping the crews flying. 

Please give all you can to help support this vital rural service in Wales   

Many Many Thanks

Bridget, Gareth + Elain James
