Team Mechem Fundraising

By Yasmin Mechem

Team Mechem's 2024-2026 Fundraising for London's Air Ambulance Charity

It was in June 2023 after seeing the incredible work of London’s air ambulance charity, we launched ourselves from the highest rooftop helipad in Europe. We descended The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel from the 17th floor. 

Just 10 months later in April 2024. Yasmin was attacked in Hainault and needed the support of these life saving hero’s. 

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Who rely solely on kind donations to keep operating. By raising money we are able to help the air ambulance be there for seriously injured people across London when every second counts, helping a life-saving team, provide critical care for the people who desperately need it. Providing this care as quickly as possible after injury, it gives someone the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

In September 2024, It was only right our family and friends kicked off our fundraising back where we started….
