Not Kalmar 2020
Fundraising for Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 7th September 2019, a simple, easy bike ride took a traumatic turn when my other half misjudged a corner on a descent and ended up being thrown from his bike into a road. He sustained a concussion and required six stitches under his eye.
He was extremely lucky that his helmet saved his life. WE were extremely lucky that 999 sent both a road ambulance AND the SCAA helimed to help us. Although we were not air-lifted to hospital, without their speedy response to provide immediate treatment to Brian, he may not have been so lucky.
The cost of a single life saving mission is, on average, around £2500. That's what I want to raise to repay them for their help.
The are within 25 mins of most places in Scotland. And they provide essential medical support to time-critical injuries.
Thanks to Covid, Kalmar has been rescheduled to 21 August 2021. But I won’t let that stop me. Follow me on social media as I take on 140.6 miles on the 15th August unsupported instead.
