Dear all at Wharfedale RUFC
Yorkshire Air Ambulance would like to say a heartfelt thank you for your kind donation of £2000.00 raised at your Boxing Day event.
Your repeated donations really are life savers. They help us reach our patients quickly, and aid rapid intervention, which can be critical. On average, our crews are on scene within 20 minutes. We help people like Stephen Curran from North Yorkshire, who suffered a heart attack when cycling from Birkin to Gateforth:
“I just want to express my sincere thanks to the air ambulance crew on the day. Their speed of response both to the scene of the incident and to the LGI combined with their skill and professionalism not only helped to save my life but also massively reduced the complications associated with my blocked coronary artery. I now more fully understand how serious my situation was at the time.”
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent Charity and receives no direct government funding. As such, we rely on the generosity of people like you to help save lives 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Thanks to generous donations like yours we have recently expanded our fleet to include a 3rd helicopter to act as a cover for when one of our two helicopters are down for maintenance. This means we will have greater operational availability and is another reason why your donation is so important to us, our patients, and the people of Yorkshire.
Kind regards
Laura Hall
