In July 2014 the Yorkshire Air Ambulance rescued my friend after a serious bike accident in a remote part of Hade Edge. The speed and dedication of the Air Ambulance helped save his leg. After 17 months, a full recovery was made and he now enjoys cycling again! This would have been so different without this incredible service, skilled pilots and dedicated NHS paramedics, surgeons and staff.
