Mission 40 2025

I'm taking on 40 miles in March

I'm taking on 40, 80, or 160 miles this March!  A minimum of 40 miles but will continue throughout the month  TVAA flew me to The John Radcliffe Hospital a few years ago. I have no memory of it due to a Traumatic Brain Injury and other injuries. fractured Femur, Ribs, Vertebrae and Arm

40 miles matches the average distance that the Thames Valley Air Ambulance helicopter flies to reach an emergency. The challenge is to walk, run, swim, cycle or wheel my way to 40, 80, or 160 miles, while helping Thames Valley Air Ambulance crews be there for people when they need them the most. TVAA are not government or lottery funded, and rely on the generosity of the community, like you, to provide the best critical care at the scene and beyond. Thank you for your support!

That was a blast!

Tuesday 1st Apr
Well that is March over. It was great to be set a challenge, I really had no idea what was possible as generally I do not record all the walks or cycle rides that I do. 
The real stars of the show are everyone that has donated, well done this is a really worthy cause. You never know when you may need these great people.
Donations will still be accepted for a few weeks, this has been a fun little challenge and the weather has been kind.
I will be doing another challenge in May, the Big Black Mountain Challenge 31km for Longtown Mountain Rescue.

A little afternoon walk - very social and generous

Tuesday 25th Mar
My little walk this afternoon although short was very productive and nice to meet such friendly people. Two cash donations along the way. a nice photograph taken of me, a free half pint in the Wyche and two further donations. Wow people are so generous

22 Days the response has been unbelievable

Saturday 22nd Mar
I had no idea what was achievable when starting this challenge, both from myself and the generosity of the people donating.
I have only recorded specific activities consisting of mostly walks with a few cycle rides, sometimes forgetting to record from the start.
I am very grateful that the Air Ambulance were called to my accident, even though I have no memory of accident or their attendance.

Halfway

Saturday 15th Mar
Halfway through the month and I never expected this response from everyone, you are marvellous.
I also was conservative about what I thought I could do. I will keep going throughout the month....... who knows.

Wow! A massive thanks

Tuesday 11th Mar
Everyone that has donated so far, this is not about me, this about you and what you are doing to help these incredible people.
They came to my assistance a few years ago, who knows what the outcome would have been without their speed and expertise..
