We have 60 places in the 2018 Bath Half, if each of our amazing runners raises a minimum of £200, they will enable us to continue to keep flying and saving lives. 

Dylan is a previous Bath Half marathon runner, having participated in the race for the last few years. He and his family and friends are hoping to participate again in 2018. 

On the evening of 6th August 2012, Dylan was riding his motorcycle home from Lechlade, when he had a collision with another vehicle and suffered catastrophic injuries due to the impact. Wiltshire Air Ambulance was called to the scene and arrived within 10-15 minutes. 

They found Dylan with several life threatening injuries. A piece of glass had completely severed his trachea and oesophagus and had become lodged against his spinal column.  His stomach had been forced up into his chest rupturing his diaphragm; he had bruised lungs, bleeding on the brain, two broken arms, a broken neck and ankle, nerve damage to his right arm, internal bleeding and a life threatening low blood pressure suggesting an uncontrolled haemorrhage.

The medics worked on Dylan for over an hour at the roadside to make sure he had every chance to survive being air lifted to hospital.  After stabilising his condition, they flew him to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital where he underwent a 12 hour operation.

Dylan underwent two more long operations and a lengthy stay in hospital.

Since then, Dylan has made a full recovery and participated in both the Oxford and Bath Half marathons. The speed of the aircraft and the skills of the crew helped give Dylan the best chance of recovery.
