I'm James Hook, a Wales Air Ambulance Ambassador and a former Wales and British and Irish Lions rugby international.

Wales Air Ambulance is a charity close to mine and my family's heart, as they saved my eldest son, Harrison, when he was just a baby. They more recently helped a friend and fellow rugby union player of mine too, Nick Williams, who suffered a cardiac arrest.

The Wales Air Ambulance delivers advanced lifesaving medical care to people across Wales 24/7. They are the only air ambulance charity, based in, and dedicated to, the people of Wales and rely entirely on your charitable donations to raise £11.2 million every year to keep the helicopters in the air and fleet of rapid response vehicles on the road. 

After taking on Hooky's Hike last June, where I completed 100 miles over 5 days, I am delighted to have been able to open this up as a mass event for people to join me this year.

During the month, I will be completing Walk Wales with James Hook. There are a few different challenges, a virtual event that takes place across the month and the in-person 10 mile walk from Oxwich, where my son was airlifted from, to Mumbles.

I have been an ambassador for a few years now, and this is my opportunity to give something back through raising awareness and funds.

I really hope that we can raise a lot of money in the process, and that the public will support my challenge because you never know when you or your family may need the Charity’s help.

I'd like to give a special mention to my sponsors, Gama Aviation.

Please support my challenge and help me to raise funds for this awesome charity. Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.
