I have been unfortunate or fortunate, depending on your views to have utilised the services of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance in the past.  I was unaware the  charity relies completely on the generosity of individuals and organisations to help save lives across Yorkshire.   As a rapid response air emergency service the Charity serves a population of approximately 5 million people across 4 million acres and to keep both air ambulances in the air they need to raise £12,000 per day.  So I decided I would run the London Marathon to help raise vital funds. 26.2Miles, 42.1km, approximately 40,000 steps and 4 hours running. However, its worded its a long way! My weekends have been dedicated to long training runs wind or rain and sometimes both!

So please dig deep and give any amount as it all adds up. Thank you in advance and watch out for me on TV, hopefully ahead of the person pulling the washing machine whilst juggling!
