Sky to Sea: A HEMS Paramedic’s 40,000nm Mission for NWAA

Rich Askew is raising money for North West Air Ambulance

Clipper RTW Race

The charity's three helicopters and four rapid response vehicles operate 365 days a year, with doctors and paramedics on board providing enhanced prehospital care to people across the entire North West region.

Story

For the last three years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as a Critical Care Paramedic with the North West Air Ambulance Charity, responding to life-changing emergencies from the air.

In 2027, I am stepping out of the helicopter and onto a 70ft racing yacht to take on the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.

The Mission:

* 40,000 Nautical Miles: A full circumnavigation of the globe.

* 11 Months at Sea: Facing the world's most extreme elements.

* £10,000 Goal: Every penny raised goes directly to NWAA to keep our helicopters flying and our crews saving lives.

I’ve seen the North West from the air; now I’m going to see the world from the waterline. Please join me on this journey from Sky to Sea.
