I am fundraising for Essex & Herts Air Ambulance Trust.

This is my story …..

Sam was our youngest son. He lived life to the full and always had a smile on his face. His quirky personality always made us laugh. He was loving, loyal and kind hearted.

In February 2012 he and his girlfriend went on their trip of a lifetime to Southeast Asia.

On the 3rd May 2012, our world was shattered when we received news that Sam had been involved in a road traffic accident and died a few hours later in hospital in Laos. He was 22 years old.

The infrastructure there at the time, meant Sam was taken to hospital in an open backed truck and clearly did not receive the medical assistance he needed.

Along with his mum and brother, I travelled to Laos to bring him home. We miss him every day.

Had Sam had the service of the Air Ambulance, it may have been a different story for him and our family.

In June 2024, I will cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats, fundraising for Essex & Herts Air Ambulance in Sam’s memory and to support the fantastic work they do in giving the best chance of survival to anyone needing this service.

If you are able, please consider a donation….. any amount is appreciated.

Thank you !

Paul
