Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So far to date, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance have flown 3526 missions, most of which are life threatening injuries caused by road traffic collisions, sports injuries and they also attend patients who may have collaped for whatever reason. The helicopter is called out several times a day throughout the year and in all weathers.
To keep this vital piece of equipment flying, it can cost up to £7000 a day. Myself and my partners sister were lucky enough to meet the crew and have a look round the helicopter a few years ago; they do an amazing job and the charity is run purely on donations rather than funding from the government.
Helimed 56 cuts land ambulance journey time by half.
With your help, we can keep this amazing life saving Helicopter flying. Please support myself and the Air Ambulance this year as i run the BUPA Great South 2012 and donate to my page. All proceeds go directly to the charity.
