Those of you who know me well will know over the past 10 years I have enjoyed setting myself physical challenges whilst raising money for charities close to my heart. To celebrate my half century this year it had to be a big challenge so The Three Peaks it is! I am taking on this challenge with Thames Valley Air Ambulance in memory of Matthew Marriage who was taken too soon. The charity never ceases to amaze me. I would love to raise £1000.00 for them. Please give what you can, giving me the strength to train and complete the challenge, sharing a thought for Matthew's family and friends and providing vital funds for a charity that nobody knows when they may need to call upon.

Thames Valley Air Ambulance exists to give everybody within our community the best chance of surviving and recovering from an emergency. We are here for you and your loved ones. In Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire. Whoever you are, wherever and whenever you need us.

Together, we do everything in our power to protect, save and revive lives, with the best critical care at the scene and beyond.

We are not government or lottery funded, so we rely on the generosity of our community – and people like you – to fund us.
