This month for my birthday, I'd love it if you'd help me raise funds for the Great North Air Ambulance Service.

GNAAS rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Isle of Man.

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 2,083 incidents 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.

Instead of a gift this year, please donate towards this life-saving service.
