#TEAMTVAA at Reading Half Marathon
Fundraising for Thames Valley Air Ambulance
Story
I am taking part in the Reading Half Marathon on Sunday 05 April 2020 to raise money for Thames Valley Air Ambulance! I’ve previously held a charity for this wonderful cause and the amount of support and money raised by you made a massive difference. Now, I am after your support again for this year!
Why am I doing it? Well in January 2012, We sadly lost the one and only Mr Jonny Kent and TVAA gave tall their efforts to save him! So this is a wonderful opportunity to give something back to them. Here is a bit about what they do and what they are as an organisation!
“Unlike the average land ambulance, the helicopter and our emergency response vehicle are manned by a paramedic and doctor team. With a doctor onboard, we can bring the skills and expertise of a hospital to the scene of an incident. Our pilots, paramedics and doctors work together as a team, along with other emergency services to deliver the best care for patients.
Our crew aim to be the best they can be, and continuously train and develop their skills and expertise. Each crew member spends time in realistic practice scenarios, so they are ready for any eventuality.
All of this means our advanced doctor and paramedic team can perform critical medical procedures prior to the patient arriving at hospital. Our crew can relieve pain, straighten broken limbs, and deliver emergency anaesthesia among a long list of vital medical care.
