Fundraiser's Story
On the 10th September 2016 my brother Russell was attacked. The London’s Air Ambulance rushed to the scene and stabilised him, allowing him to be transferred to The Royal London Hospital where surgeons battled to save him for 11 hours before he tragically succumbed to his injuries. He was just 26.
I wanted to do things that challenged and excited me, so I chose to do a skydive in 2018, raising just over £2,000, which was amazing. I then took part in the Spartan 5k before deciding to do a wing-walk in 2020.
My advice to anyone thinking of fundraising for London’s Air Ambulance Charity is just ‘do it’! Do something you enjoy or excites you or challenges you – and do it for a charity that is there for all of us when we need them the most.
