Wiltshire Air Ambulance
TAKE PART IN THE BATH HALF!
If you want to run the 2012 Bath Half in aid of Wiltshire Air Ambulance then this is the place to sign up!
We rely on the support and commitment of people like you, and we really appreciate your efforts in taking on the challenge to raise money for the Appeal.
For this event we ask that you raise £200 which will pay for your half marathon and raise much needed funds for The Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Once you’ve booked on, we will send you a fundraising pack with lots of handy hints on how to raise the funds eg; § Set up a fundraising page on justgiving.com § Lists of fundraising ideas – quiz nights, competitions etc. § Collection tins and buckets!
Wiltshire Air Ambulance rely on the support of the public to help raise the funds needed to keep them flying and saving lives. Each year the Appeal needs to raise over £700,000.
Everyone in Wiltshire has a stake in the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. It is an essential service that serves all the people of Wiltshire whatever your age or gender. We are there for those life and death situations where the speed of the helicopter and the skill of the crew play a major part in the outcome of the patient.
WAA can be at an incident with-in 11 minutes. You may have heard the phrase ‘Golden Hour’ – this is used to describe the hour directly after an incident has taken place. It is imperative that the injured party receive medical attention within this hour to minimize the risk of life changing injuries or in some cases, death.
Almost half of all incidents the Air Ambulance attends are Road Traffic Collisions across our county roads or on the Motorways. Other situations include, cardiac arrests, horse riding accidents, work related injury, sporting injuries, farm accidents, fires and burns. No two days are ever the same.
Without your support we would be grounded.
Please contact Caroline Corrigan via email for the forms you’ll need to take part and you can also ask any questions you might have.
