London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil September 2023

I was in awe and speechless!!

One evening I was flicking through the TV channels I stopped at a programme about the London air ambulance.  A teenager had been stabbed in the heart on the streets of London. 

Every second counted and the chances of survival were very slim so the air ambulance had to be called. Within minutes an air ambulance arrived and the paramedic performed open heart surgery and provided a blood transfusion on the roadside...yes on the roadside.  This saved the teenager's life.

I was in complete awe and admiration for the paramedic and the London air ambulance.  After reading about them I was shocked to find out that it is run as a charity and works alongside the NHS.  They are funded through charitable donations and receive no  government funding. Therefore I signed up to provide a regular monthly donation.





I'm Abseiling to help save lives in London

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 abseiling from the home of London's Air Ambulance Charity one the 17th Floor of The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. Please give what you can to help save lives in London.
