Ideas are both a blessing and a curse, in 2023 we raised over £1000 for GNAAS when i took on 3 challenges. 2 years later GNAAS placed a post about 30 of their helmets requiring maintenance and would come in at a cost of over £8000. https://fb.watch/D6UeHPIm10/

Then, they posted about a new helicopter! So the idea, complete a 30 event challenge throughout the year and into next, equating to 1 event per helmet, the concluding event being GNR 2026!

So the big question can you help by donating towards that shiny new helicopter?

For those amazing people who found themselves in a terrible situation, this is for you, and for anyone else who may need help in the future. Lets do what we can to keep our air ambulance and those on it flying. Keep track of the 30 events below and in the updates section!!!
