Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm nearly 40, overweight and unfit.
So... what better way to get in shape than to take part in a challenge of a lifetime - climbing Kilimanjaro!

Seriously though... I work for Allianz and as a company we are supporting the Air Ambulance Association (and local air ambulance services). I have chosen to take part in the Kilimanjaro challenge for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HIOWAA) in hope to raise £4100 - towards the amazing life-saving work that they do! I know, because i travel to Hampshire everyday for work and i hear on the radio of road closures where the air ambulance is in attendance.

Note that this charity receives no government or lottery funding for their operations whatsoever, so please, please, please help me to raise valuable funds for them, so that they can continue their amazing work in bringing the hospital to the patient 365 days a year.

Stats for HIOWAA air ambulance attendance:
34% Road Traffic Collisions
25% Cardiac/Collapse
18% Sports/Falls
16% Horse Riding
4% Industrial Injury
3% Medical Transfers
