TCS London Marathon 2022

2022 London Marathon

I'm running to help save lives in London!

When COVID-19 (temporarily) grounded my career as an airline pilot, I consider myself to have been extremely fortunate to have been rapidly integrated into work at one of London's major trauma centres. Numerous roles across the King's Trust have exposed me to just a small fraction of the amazing work our healthcare service provides.

One of the multiple highlights of my time at KCH has to be the opportunity to visit their helipad; not only for its incredible views of London, but also to understand the incredible part aviation can play in delivering emergency medicine. Amazingly, the London Air Ambulance (LAA) is a charity, solely funded by community donations. This charitable support enables them to continue to provide their innovative & life-saving service to the 10 million people who live/work around London everyday.

In October, I will be running the TCS London Marathon on behalf of the London Air Ambulance. 

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 will be taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2022 running with the London's Air Ambulance Charity Team. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.
