This October, I will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon, fundraising for St. John Ambulance.

I do that because the importance of first aid cannot be overstated. In critical situations, the difference in outcomes for injuries can be a matter of minutes.

I raise funds for St. John Ambulance to help maintain the essential services they provide, such as:

Teaching first aid by offering free, online first aid advice and resources.

Providing expert training and supplies for first aid, health and safety, and mental health.

Inspiring the next generation with youth programmes offering children and young people the chance to learn first aid.

Providing fully trained and equipped first aiders and ambulances for events
