During my final year at Dundee University Medical School I have had many rural placements, including the Isle of Colonsay and Wick. Here I have seen the importance of the air ambulance service and how critical it is for patient care. Therefore, I have signed up to compete in the 70.3 Ironman in Staffordshire - a triathlon consisting of a 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21.1km run and would like to raise money for the Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance. This is Scotland’s only charity-funded air ambulance service. They rely on public support to keep flying and responding to time-critical emergencies wherever they occur in Scotland. From the bases in Perth and Aberdeen they can reach 90% of Scotland’s population within 25 minutes, providing a vital lifeline to communities all over the country. The mission is to deliver more care, more quickly, to more people across Scotland - but they can only keep flying and saving lives with your support. Please donate whatever you can!:)
