Story

Target is to raise £50k for Great Western Air Ambulance who require £3m per year donations to remain operational. You never know you are going to need them until you really need them !

On 10th May 2019, I had a cycling accident and was airlifted by Great Western Air Ambulance to Bristol Southmead Hospital where I underwent surgery to fix my broken neck . I had broken my back in 9 places, 5 ribs, torn retina in my left eye, and during all this had a minor stroke .

I was lucky to live and certainly the odds were against me ever walking again. But after 3 months in hospital and 2 months at home in intense physio, I am so pleased to say I am on the road to recovery. I have definitely beaten the odds and used all of my 9 lives !

I owe this to many teams within the health service , but the one that this Team is fund raising for is the Great Western Air Ambulance, as their fast actions I am convinced saved me from a much worse outcome. They are reliant 100% on charitable donations

Anyone can join this team and fund raise for GWAA and there will be numerous events taking place. My challenge will be to complete an ironman distance triathlon within two years of the anniversary of my accident

thanks for your support and even a pound donation would really help.
