Back in 2015, the first Run for Rachel took place. Unfortunately, I could not complete the full length due to injury. Six years later, I'm having another attempt at it, raising money for the incredible charity that is the GNAAS. A charity that means so much to me and many others for the life-saving work they conduct every day.
The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria. Their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside, or in a city center. The charity responded to 1,640 call-outs last year* alone, via their helicopter and emergency response vehicles, where they performed treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death.
