The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) Charity is teaming up with the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity to raise money to support the critically injured and ill patients whose lives are saved by the two organisations.In November, fundraisers and representatives from the two charities, alongside staff from QEHB and Midlands Air Ambulance Charity will be taking on an epic challenge that will push all of the participants to new limits.The Saving Lives Challenge is a week-long fundraiser that will see participants cycle on static bikes, and run or walk on a treadmill, around the clock, in the main atrium at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.This incredible effort will begin at 08:00 on Monday 26 November, wrapping up at 16:00 on Friday 30 November, with the money made from the event going towards providing added extras for critically ill or injured patients at QEHB, and helping to fund the incredible work of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

MY STORY

On the 12th October 2015 I had a riding accident in my arena at home, the Midlands Air Ambulance flew a trauma team to treat me on site and then flew me to the QE where I was in a coma for nearly 2 weeks.  I had sustained a diffuse axonal brain injury.  Without doubt I owe my life to the Midlands Air Ambulance and QE staff.  

I never thought it would happen to me......
