Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am fortunate that I have not had to suffer the injustices in life that many have had to face so have never been attached to a particular cause. My Grandma lives down in the wilds of Cornwall and has essentially adopted the Cornish Air Ambulance as her charity of choice. An in an effort to be the number one grandson I have taken up the flag waving. 

For those who brave the perils of the M5 each year many of us spend our summers down in Cornwall the air ambulance can (far too) often be seen flying over the coast. With any luck most of us will never have to use the service, but the sea is an untamed beast that has snared even the most hardy sea goer (an also a few foolish drifting off on inflatables).

Cornwall Air Ambulance flies more than 700 missions every year bringing vital emergency medical treatment in minutes to patients across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. It does not receive any government support for these missions and relies on the generosity of its supporters.

Taking to the skies in 1987, Cornwall Air Ambulance was the first air ambulance in the UK. It has now completed re than 26,000 missions, saving countless lives.

Cornwall Air Ambulance is on scene on average in just 12 minutes in mainland Cornwall and less than 30 minutes on the Isles of Scilly. The paramedic aircrew provide pre-hospital critical care at the scene of the incident and can go on to fly the patient to specialist hospital units in Cornwall, Devon or Bristol and even as far as Swansea.
They rely on our supporters for the running costs of £3 million a year. Anyone could need this service at any time whether local or visitor, young or old.

For the half a million people who call Cornwall home, as well as the millions who visit the county, Cornwall Air Ambulance is a reassuring presence, and it’s all thanks to the support of people like you.
