Walk a 1000 miles 2021 · 20 January 2021

The Wales Air Ambulance Charity provides advanced life-saving emergency care for everyone in Wales, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We are a ‘mobile emergency department’ that relies entirely on donations to keep our helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road.

Story

When the Leader of the Llanteg Walkers’Group wrote in to the local Community Council in January raising awareness of the 1000 mile challenge. I thought that was something I could take part in as I had already started doing a lot of walking during lockdown. However I also realised that 1000 miles is a long way and without an incentive I might fall by the wayside. Hence the reason to do it for charity. I decided upon the Wales Air Ambulance. 

The Charity is funded by the people of Wales and requires £8 million a year to keep its four helicopters in the sky, serving Wales and saving lives. The charity can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, its doctors and medics fly the A&E deptartment to the patient.It also runs the Children's Wales Air Ambulance service, transferring vulnerable babies and children to the specialist hospitals across the UK.Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.

I started my walk on the 20January and I have been out every day since, in rain, hail, wind, snow and sun! I have seen some brilliant views, wonderful sunsets and spoken .....socially distanced of course to lots of people. If you see me on my travels please say hello. 

I have passed the halfway mark in my travels and now I need your support to spur me on to complete the 1000 miles and support the Wales Air Ambulance. Thank you
