I'll be taking part in this years Race to the Base challenge to raise money for GNAAS.
My target is 130 miles (via running, cycling, walking or water skiiing*) which is the distance it takes a GNAAS helicopter to go from the RVI Hospital in Newcastle to both of their airbases and back again.
Wish me luck - anything you can donate is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
(*not water skiing)
The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) rescues hundreds of severely injured or ill patients every year throughout the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria. Their doctor-led critical care teams deliver life-saving treatments at the scene of the incident whether that is on a fell top, a roadside or in a city centre. The charity responded to 1,640 call outs last year alone, via their helicopter and emergency response vehicles, where they performed treatments and procedures which can mean the difference between life or death.
