7 Marathons, 7 Days, 7 Continents, £7,000 for Thames Valley Air Ambulance

Derek Spence is raising money for Thames Valley Air Ambulance

Seven Marathons, Seven days, Seven Continents, £7,000 for TVAA · 31 January 2026

Thames Valley Air Ambulance is the only provider of advanced critical care within Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Every day, someone in our community could be in urgent need of our service.

Story

My latest challenge is in support of the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, a lifesaving service that operates without government or lottery funding. They rely entirely on the kindness of the community to keep their helicopters in the air and ready to help those in need.

Beginning January 31, 2026, I'll be tackling seven marathons in seven days across seven continents! Aiming to raise £7,000. This amount will fund two helicopter missions, making a real difference in saving lives.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Your support can help ensure that when someone is in critical need of medical assistance, the Thames Valley Air Ambulance can be there for them. Every donation counts and your support is appreciated.
