Hello UKC! 

I'm Rob (Stanners), an obsessed trad climber and Bristol based Paramedic! In my February annual leave I've decided to raise money for our Great West Air Ambulance Charity to keep the incredible boys/girls and their life-saving helicopter in the air!

The air ambulance are saving lives and supporting us road paramedics every day bringing critical care to the roadside. They heavily rely on charity donations to keep airborne..and that's where I hope you can come in!

I will be running/walking/crawling the South West Coast Path in February

Fundraising for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (I might need them)

Averaging a marathon every day for 24 days (mostly dark/cold/wind/rain) 

Elevation - 35,000 meters/115,000ft - 4 x the height of Everest 

150,000 calories (some of it not cake)

Sleeping under a sheet outside (technically it’s a ‘bivi’)

Please visit my fundraising page for this big winter challenge!

Please donate whatever you can spare, but I thought a fun suggestion might be 1p a mile to make a £6.30 donation! Please use gift aid if you can!

Donated. Good luck. As someone who has to call on emergency services working at a very busy coastal location in Dorset, the air ambulance is a vital service for us. 
I also had a fundraiser last year on a similarly mad running challenge, so definitely know it will be as much a psychological challenge as it is physical.

Hi Derry, 

Sounds like you know very much first hand how important the service is. Massively appreciate you taking the time to donate and offer your support in this message. Great effort on your fundraiser last year, it's always good when the head game is as important as the leg game! 

cheers

Rob
