Story
As active volunteers for The Childrens Air Ambulance there is no better cause to be doing this wildly freezing challenge for! Poppy and Sam will spend 7 days in the Arctic Circle, learning to live in the minus degrees temperatures. It will be tough!
The Childrens Air Ambulance is an inter-hospital transfer service flying babies and children from one hospital to another for specialist care. We work with 10 NHS paediatric and neonatal retrieval teams across the UK, enabling them to bring their specialist equipment on board to safely transfer their patients from one hospital to another. If a child is too sick to fly then the Childrens Air Ambulance can fly a specialist team directly to them. With our ability to fly approximately four times faster than a land ambulance, we can minimise travel times and the risk for little patients. Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day. Within minutes they can be on the ground delivering lifesaving care. The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery.
Your money will go towards the funding of two missions, that cost on average £3,500 each. These missions save the lives of critically ill children around the UK.
Please give generously for this amazing, life saving charity.
Thank you
Poppy and Sam
