Story
On 20th May this year my husband had a blackout, fell and fractured his skull. He was seen by paramedics who realised the seriousness of the situation. They called for the DAA who landed in fields opposite our house and took him directly to Derriford hospital. Without the team that day the outcome of this accident would have been very different! Having had a loved one use this amazing service I realised how important it is. So, I have decided to do this challenge to raise awareness and lots of much needed cash for a fabulous charity.
Devon Air Ambulance is the charitable trust which raises the funds to keep two emergency air ambulances flying in and around the county of Devon. Flying seven days a week, one of the aircraft now flies into the hours of darkness - up to midnight, with future plans to extend the service further to 2am.In 2017 it cost £6.4 million to keep the service airborne, with every penny coming from the generosity of the communities, businesses and friends of Devon.Thank you for your support - it really does help to save lives!
