Story

I wouldn’t be here today without Hampshire and Isle of Wright Air Ambulance, who fully rely on charitable donations. It is a life saving charity providing an emergency service to the people in Hampshire and surrounding areas. Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance cared for my incredible boyfriend Hugo. Devastatingly, Hugo died from his injuries but Dorset and Somerset ensured that he reached the hospital alive so his family could say goodbye.  

To thank them for saving my life and for caring for Hugo I hope to raise money for these two charities by challenging myself to a 5 mile walk. I know this may not seem like a lot to you but I am still recovering from a broken back and many other injuries which prevent me from walking more than 15 minutes at a time. I will be embarking on my challenge in July and would be very grateful for any donations so they can continue their life changing work. The funds raised will be split 50/50 between both organisations.
