Story

Hi I’m James! I’m 9, almost 10! I recently visited the Essex & Herts air ambulance base at Earls Colne and saw the helicopter after it had come back from a flight. I heard how much money they cost and that they want to buy a new one next year. They are expensive!

As farmers we think the Air Ambulance is really important! It can save people who are a long way from the road.

I thought I would take on a challenge to raise money. I once went on a charity walk of 6 miles. I’m not sure if I can do 12 but I want to try. What’s more im going to try to do my longest walk on the shortest day of the year! And it might be wet and muddy. Mum is coming with me - if she can hack it! My neighbour is too. Dad and brother are going to be support crew.

I hope you can sponsor me on this page or by getting in touch.
