Nicky said: “I have recently been encouraged to join the 10k run with a group of friends who have been training together. I then decided to do it for an amazing cause and chose the Air Ambulance, an obvious choice for us in the emergency services. I wanted to help promote awareness and raise money at the same time. My ex-ambulance crewmate Colin Apps has been part of the air ambulance team for some years and has been my inspiration.”
On her JustGiving fundraising page, she said: “I’ve now worked for the West Midlands Ambulance Service for just over 5 years and see first-hand the incredible work that my friends/colleagues do each day to save lives. Please can you show your appreciation by making (even a small donation) to this very worthy cause, as every single penny counts.”
Lisa Medhurst will be running to fundraise for The Lullaby Trust. She said on her JustGiving fundraising page: “I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child … this charity try and help people deal with that unimaginable nightmare.”
