Realising I was fast approaching 50 and wondering how to celebrate it instead of buying a motorbike I wanted a challenge that would have a lasting impact not only on myself but others. 

In March 2022, Police officers and staff from around the UK (and Europe) will support the NPAC in transporting a fleet of over 30 ambulances over 3500 km to rural communities in The Gambia. This donation will help to care for and save the lives of thousands of Gambians, many of whom would not otherwise be able to access urgent medical care. In a country where infant mortality is amongst the highest, and minor injuries quickly result in life changing issues, even amputation, the provision of an ambulance service will make all the difference. I am very proud to have been chosen as the only West Midlands Police representative and will be using my own time and resources to do this, but need your help! We need to fund everything from flights, ferry crossings, fuel and accommodation right down to buying the donor vehicles themselves. Any donations towards helping this life-changing project go ahead will be greatly appreciated.
