Thank you for choosing to support Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA). As a charity YAA relies on the generosity of individuals & organisations to help save lives across Yorkshire. Thank you from the team YAA.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, for The Yorkshire Dales - Afghanistan Challenge.

The #2YORKS, operational tour of Afghanistan is coming to an end and in an attempt to raise awareness and funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) #yorkshireairambulance, I will be attempting The Yorkshire Dales #yorkshiredalesnationalpark - Afghanistan Challenge, where I'll run 160 km over 3 days from the confines of Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA(N)), Afghanistan.

The YAA is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire. To keep both of the Air Ambulances maintained and in the air, they need to raise £12,000 every single day, which is the equivalent of £4.4m a year. The generosity that they receive really is the life blood of the Charity.

The Charity industry has suffered terribly since the Coronavirus #coronavirus situation gripped the UK, and the YAA is not immune to this. So far, the YAA have seen a deficit of around £420,000 for events cancelled between now and the end of summer.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you.
