I don't know if you are aware but National Air Ambulance Week is fast approaching (11th – 17th September 2017)

To this end, I am delighted that my firm Hudgells Solicitors are supporting Dave Ascough and Daren Cox under the Roadbase2017 title, who will tour Britain raising awareness and much needed funds for the North West Air Ambulance Charity. In doing so, they are creating a package of routes and planning tips to inspire other riders from all over the country to follow their route and raise money for their own local Air Ambulance.

You may not be aware that the Air Ambulance received no Government financial backing but rely totally on donations, and so whilst they are raising money primarily for the North West Air Ambulance service, their primary aim id to raise awareness of all 17 Air Ambulance services around the UK.

As motorcyclists, none of us know when we may be in need of the assistance and service provided by the Air Ambulance regardless of where you live, so I would ask you to support the guys and if possible put your hand in your pocket and support them in reaching their target which is a modest £2,000, but the publicity is priceless.

As a firm, we have paid their overheads such as fuel, accomodation, meals, as well as IT expertise and I have sorted out sponsorship of bikes, kit and a few other bits and pieces.

So, please join us and help these guys get an important message out and raise the profile of the National Air Ambulance service.

Coincidentally we have supported the East Anglian Air Ambulance for a long time, it's a great organisation with some very dedicated people in it doing a fantastic job with minimal funding.
On a personal level I've looked at Blood donation and the Air Ambulance as part of my biking fees for years.
