Story

On 29th December 2016  Billy was taken seriously ill and required immediate medical treatment in order to have any chance of survival. Herts Air Ambulance landed a helicopter close to our family home and transferred Billy to Harefield Hospital. This was an 11-minute journey compared to a 40-minute drive. 

The swift delivery of Billy to hospital allowed them to diagnose what had caused my brother to become so poorly; he had an aneurysm which led to a bleed on his brain. Unfortunately, there was no chance of recovery for Billy and he died peacefully on 30th December. My family takes comfort in the fact Billy had signed up to the organ donor register.

Herts Air Ambulance receives no NHS funding and relies completely on charitable donations. Each flight costs £2,700. Please donate to this charity so that they can help others have the best chance of survival x
