Starting at 8pm on Thursday 30^th April, 250 students from 12 University Air Squadrons will start running a continuous relay from RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland to RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus and back completely in our own gardens. A member from each squadron team will always be running (including through the nights!) until we complete the 10,200km round trip. You can follow our progress at www.cuas.org.uk/uasgardenrelay. All the money raised is going to NHS Charities Together, see below for the impact your donation will make:

“There are more than 250 NHS charities across the UK and most of them focus on helping our hospitals do more. Collectively these charities give £1 million every day to the NHS so that people can stay well for longer and get better faster. In recent years NHS charities have funded major capital projects, pioneering research and medical equipment at our hospitals, helping patients access the best possible care when they need it most. 

They also play a key role in mobilising volunteers to support NHS staff, brightening wards and waiting areas with colourful and engaging art and building an important link between our hospitals and our communities. Other NHS charities support mental health trusts, community health trusts and ambulance trusts. 

These vital funds and services are above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide, touching lives and making a huge difference to millions of people when they are at their most vulnerable.”
