Joanna's fundraiser for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance

Joanna Ovenden is raising money for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance

Marathon in a Month · 1 April 2025 to 30 April 2025 ·

This April, join our Marathon in a Month challenge in support of Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. Walk, run or even swim your way to 26.2 miles – every step, stroke, or stride you take helps us to save lives.

Story

My marathon running days may be over, but thanks to the amazing Air Ambulance team I have every chance of making a good recovery following a serious road traffic accident in early December. In recent weeks I reached the milestone of being able to walk one mile, so now I am going to challenge myself to walk a mile every day in April. It may not sound much, but considering I had 9 broken bones and extensive plastic surgery just 12 weeks ago, hopefully you’ll appreciate the efforts involved! If I can manage to raise some funds for the Air Ambulance as I go then that would be brilliant.

The service DSAA provide is 95% funded by charitable giving. Last year, they were tasked to 2,909 incidents, with each mission costing approximately £3,500.

Please join me in helping to raise funds for this life-saving service. My family and I will be forever in their debt.
