London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil 2021

Help me raise funds for London's air ambulance

London's air ambulance team were looking for people to launch themselves from the highest rooftop helipad in Europe. So I obviously volunteered.

It's a charity that's very close to me - in that I can see the helipad from my lounge! But they do really incredible work. 

I'll be joining the London's Air Ambulance Charity abseil team in descending the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel from 17 floors up. It's a free hang abseil (no body contact with the wall!), which adds to the sense of exhilaration/danger.

London’s Air Ambulance Charity delivers an advanced trauma team to London’s most seriously injured patients.

Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London’s Air Ambulance Charity brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. They perform innovative and potentially life-saving procedures usually found in the emergency department on-scene. The team, consisting of an advanced trauma doctor, paramedic and consultant on most missions, can perform treatments such as open heart surgery, blood transfusions and general anaesthetic by the roadside.

By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, they aim to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.

They serve the 10 million people that live work and travel within the M25, treating an average of five patients every day. The most common incidents they attend include road traffic collisions, stabbings and shootings, falls from height and incidents on the rail network.

Please support their incredible work by sponsoring me as I abseil down 17 storeys. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
