London's Air Ambulance Helipad Abseil September 2023

I did it from 280ft!

So ... I finally did the deed and abseiled the 280ft from the helipad down to terra firma. I'm not gonna lie, once I went over the parapit my heart was in my mouth as I slowly span round and down towards the ground. My yoga breathing and a little voice in my head kept me calm and I took in the amazing skyline that London City has to offer ... what an experience 😍 
Big thanks to all the staff and volunteers involved but most of all to all of you who donated.  I couldn't have done it without you ❤

Let's not forget the reason I did it!  We raised £1200.00 for London Air Ambulance charity who need all we can give, to keep them afloat, so that they can continue saving people's lives and get them to hospital from those difficult to get to locations in double-quick time.

THANK YOU ALL 🥰

I must be mad ...

So, in my moment of madness, I have decided to take on the annual abseil challenge in aid of London Air Ambulance this September, Friday the 15th.  I always vowed to do it after my brother received life saving treatment from the LAA Team in February 2019. Four and a half years on, I am going to do this, get my big girl pants on and face this ... there's no other way in this world I would subject myself to this crazy idea were it not to raise money and awareness for the London Air Ambulance charity, their staff who perform selfless acts of life saving treatment and for the upkeep and maintenance of their infamous air ambulance. Please encourage me (first donation means no going back!!) and support me by donating your hard earned cash for such a great cause. Don't be shy ... any amount is enough, the bigger the better!! Thank you for reading ❤

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.
