English Chanel swim · 5 September 2022

We operate the local air ambulances for Warwickshire & Northamptonshire and Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, as well as the National Children's Air Ambulance across the UK.

Story

On 15th Feb 2019 I went for a ride on my moterbike.  Whilst waiting at a junction, a car drove into me, knocking me off my bike,  leaving me trapped remaining under the car for 25 minutes.

I received life changing injuries; with leg and ankle extremely badly burnt.

I was eventually freed by the fire brigade, and taken quickly by the wonderful Air Ambulance to hospital. 

For the last 3 and a half years,  I have had many operations, continuous physio, and,  the amputation of my leg, that was considered,  didn't happen. 

I am now up and walking on two legs!

I am raising funds for both  the:

Air Ambulance - who rely totally on donations and are not government funded

And

Nottingham City Hospital Burns Unit to buy equipment - they worked so incredibly hard to save my leg

In September 2022  I will be swimming the equivalent length of the English channel.  To achieve this, I will need to swim 87 lengths of my local pool every day for three weeks.

I want to thank everyone who has helped and supported my recovery so far.  

In anticipation of your generous support, I really want to thank you for your donation, I know it will make a difference.

Thanks Debs xx
