I will be running the Liverpool Half Marathon on Sunday 23rd March 2024 to raise money for The North West Air Ambulance Charity who help save many lives each year.

In 2022 the charity helped my grandad after he fell whilst decorating, despite their best efforts unfortunately he could not be saved and sadly passed away later on in hospital.

The North West Air Ambulance Charity’s helicopters and critical care vehicles operate 365 days a year. Their highly skilled doctors and critical care paramedics on board provide enhanced pre-hospital care to patients across the entire North West region each year – an area covering 5,500 square miles and over 8 million people.

Since its launch in 1999, the North West Air Ambulance Charity has been called to over 45,000 missions across the region, an average of around seven times a day.

Just as the many critically ill and injured patients would not have survived without the service the charity provides; the North West Air Ambulance Charity would not be here without the support of its community of fundraisers and partners.

The charity is not part of the NHS and doesn’t receive any government funding. They rely completely on public and corporate donations to carry on saving lives. The North West Air Ambulance Charity must raise over £18 million every year to continue its lifesaving services.
