We are hugely grateful to Harris Academy Merton for raising an incredible £4246.85 for our charity. On Monday 21st November, students and teachers came together to dodge, dribble and shoot at the academy’s annual ‘Clash of Faculties’ event, all in support of London’s Air Ambulance.
We have been reunited with an ex-patient who helped save our charity from closure in 1993. Paul's contribution came to light after we trawled through historic archives to develop a new digital timeline, which tells the story of both the highs and lows of our charity.
A year ago London’s Air Ambulance helped save Sonal Shah’s life. One year on and Sonal is raising vital funds to ensure this help continues to reach as many Londoners as possible.
When Sonal was hit by a car just five minutes from home she received treatment from the London Ambulance Service, London’s Air Ambulance and the Royal London Hospital for a head wound, fractures in her lower back, a dislocated hip and a broken ankle. Her injuries left her temporarily wheelchair bound and missing her independence.
This month marks an incredible 28 years since London's Air Ambulance was founded. To celebrate the anniversary we have released a new digital timeline telling our story. It shows how if it hadn't been for a pioneering group of people, and the generosity of the London public, our charity may not have existed at all.
This time last year, Dave Cooke was in the midst of training for the Virgin Money London Marathon to raise money for London's Air Ambulance. But this was no ordinary marathon training plan. Not only was Dave preparing to complete the London Marathon, he was also attempting to gain a new Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon wearing chainmail.
Our 2016 Christmas Carol Concert was the perfect start to the festive season. Held at the beautiful St Andrew Holborn Church in the heart of the City, the audience gathered to sing traditional carols, hear the nativity story and listen to the incredible Rock Choir.
Over 200 people gathered in the church, helping to raise just shy of £8000 for our charity.
