London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil 2020

A year on...

It's been a year since I was initially going to be abseiling from the 17th floor of the Royal London Hospital. Obviously COVID happened which delayed everything but I'm excited to announce that I have a new date for my abseil - Sunday 19th September (just 11 days away!). Thank you for all sticking by me and I am excited to share the photos with you all very soon. :)

12 day countdown!

It's now under two weeks until the maddest decision of my life so far... abseiling off the Royal London!! Thank you SO much to everyone who has donated to this very worthy cause - We have raised £181 so far which is fantastic - I can't wait to share the pictures of the abseil with you all very soon!

I'm fundraising for...

London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients. Your donation will help save more lives by keeping the helicopter in the air and the rapid response cars on the road, ready for when they are needed most. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, London’s Air Ambulance Charity aims to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

I have signed up for this abseil as I want to raise more awareness (and hopefully money!) for the lifesaving work that the air ambulance provides to trauma patients across London. As a medical student at Barts and The London, I see everyday the red air ambulance flying overhead and it is a constant reminder to me of what a vital service this is to our community. Any donation to this incredible cause is helpful as your money can go towards new flight suits, medical kit bags and even blood transfusion equipment. Thank you for your support :)
