In September, Mike and I are running The Great North Run to raise money for The Great North Air Ambulance Service. The GNAAS were there when my Grandad was involved in a serious car accident, and did all they could to help him. He was air lifted to hospital in Newcastle, but later died of his injuries. It is a comfort to our family to know the GNAAS were there for him.💚

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.
