We are fundraising for East Anglian Air Ambulance in memory of Aaron (our much loved and missed partner, uncle and brother-in-law), who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at home after suffering a pulmonary embolism in May 2022.

It was actually Essex and Herts Air Ambulance that attended for us, as they were already airborne when the call came in. There were nine emergency health workers in our bedroom working on Aaron, but it was the Air ambulance crew (+ the off duty member of the same team) that really stood out as being empathetic and kind hearted and not just 'doing a job'. It was apparent quite early on that things were looking quite bleak, but the air ambulance crew tried everything they possibly could to try and save Aaron. They took time to explain what was going on and what they were doing and were such an amazing team of compassionate people.

East Anglian Air Ambulance receives no regular government funding and relies entirely on the support of the community.

In addition to critical care, they also have patient and family liaison teams to support patients and their families with any aftercare they may need.

Three weeks after Aaron passed away, the off duty critical care paramedic that had attended from Essex and Herts Air Ambulance, came to my house to see how we were getting on and asked if we wanted him to explain anything, or fill in any gaps from the evening. He said he also wanted to let his crew know how we were doing. Amazing people.

Since Aaron's passing, we have raised over £7,500 for East Anglian and Essex & Herts Air Ambulance.

Please support us to raise money for this crucial charity.
