Story

In October I'm running just over 13 miles in aid of London's Air Ambulance. My company is supporting the charity this year, but it means a lot to me as they saved the life of my friend's sister 5 years ago. 

After a horrific crash with a skip lorry on her bike, London's Air Ambulance arrived at the scene within minutes. Using state-of-the-art surgery by the roadside, they were able to save her life, but unfortunately weren't able to save one of her legs. Since her accident, Vicky has done a huge amount to advocate for cyclist safety, speaking publicly about the issue, and has even forgiven the driver (watch her inspirational 2 min video for BBC Three here https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10154699288835787 ). 

Vicky is currently training to swim the channel (!) and her sister Marie has run multiple marathons to raise money for the charity.

Now it's my time to set a challenge and raise some much needed money; just one trip to save a life costs £2,650, so please give what you are able to :) Thank you!
