Kerri Smith - Air Ambulance
As many of you will know by now, I am doing a big bike ride on 6th June, 88 miles, with 2,300 ft of ascent - its going to be a massive challenge. We ride out through the Welsh Mountains - I have never done anything of this magnitude.
However, I have been busy raising money for Cyclists fighting Cancer, but thought after the weekends events (for those of you that dont know, there was a nasty accident at FOH qualifier and the girl was airlifted) I should try and raise a bit of Cash for the Air Ambulance. We are all riders and think we should take some time to reflect that this could happen to any one of us at any time. I personally have been airlifted twice in the last couple of years. I can tell you when you are laying hurt and injured and you know your journey time to help is considerably reduced, you worry a bit less than perhaps you might.
The guys at the Air Ambulance do a great job and really do deserve our support.
