Story


Thanks for supporting my fundraising! - I am running the Amazing Northampton Run on 15th September which is a Half Marathon.  I am running in support of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance which is a vital service that any of us could one day need and relies entirely on donations. 

A few years ago now the Air Ambulance were called upon to help my Dad who became very poorly, very suddenly.  It was thanks to the Air Ambulance that he at least had a chance of pulling through - ever since that day I have always wanted to do something to support them.

More information below.

Since starting our services in 2003, we now fly two local air ambulances services, serving a total of five counties.

 Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA)

Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA)

Our critical care paramedics, doctors and pilots attend an average of ten rescue missions a day and within minutes, they can be on the ground delivering lifesaving care at road traffic collisions, sports events, and industrial accidents or for medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest,  or accidents in the home.

The air ambulance gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. Our helicopter can fly at 185mph and carries the very latest lifesaving equipment.

Our air ambulance team is supported by Critical Care Cars, which provide valuable backup for incidents close to the helicopter base or when the weather makes it too dangerous to fly. It also enables our doctors and critical care paramedics to be run a night car service so that they are available to reach those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

We receive no funding from the government or National Lottery for our daily missions and we rely entirely on donations to raise the £2,300 we need for each rescue mission.
