On June 30th 2001 I was involved in an accident on the M1 that left me with my neck broken in 4 places when the car that I was travelling in as a passenger in flipped out of control.

The motorway was closed and the Air Ambulance was called. Within minutes, the Air Ambulance came to the rescue, I received life saving treatment and was taken to spinal unit at Leicester Royal Infirmary.

It now has been 9 years since the accident and I have had a good recovery.

The approximate cost of running the Air Ambulance is £26 per minute, It is vitally important that a patent reaches the hospital that is suited towards their injuries within one 'golden hour'. The average cost of this is £1560.00 per flight. I would like to raise enough money to cover the cost of a flight so another person in trouble can benefit in the same way that I did.

Since the 1st of January I have started training for the London Triathlon 2010. I am currently training 7 times over 5 days every week and this is planned to be stepped up in duration in April (with open water swimming brrrrrrr)  when the full training program kicks in. 

I will post pictures and details of my progress to keep you up to date with how it is going.
