On 19th January 2020 GNAAS performed a life saving intervention on a team mate and friend Alan Rippon at a local cross country relay race. Together with my friends at Derwent Valley Trail Runners we wish to express our gratitude towards GNAAS and fundraise and support their fantastic cause whenever we can.  Thank-you for your generosity and support - Harry 

The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. Their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre. The charity responded to 1,640 call outs last year* alone, via their helicopter and emergency response vehicles, where they performed treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death.
