Sam & Peter Chiltern Ride

Cycling Sportive 2026

I'm cycling for Thames Valley Air Ambulance!

Hi everyone,

In August last year, during a normal bike ride with my dad, an unfortunate accident led to him falling off his bike. We quickly realized the severity of the situation: he had sustained an open shin fracture, a broken ankle, and a broken heel.

We hailed down a motorist and called 999. Within 4 minutes, an ambulance was with us; within 10 minutes, the Air Ambulance had arrived. Their ability to administer stronger painkillers and their rapid reaction ensured a stressful moment was managed with the best possible care.

When the doctors were leaving, they mentioned how nice it was to have a "good outcome"—which opened my eyes to the intensity of the work they do every day. I will be forever grateful for their help. To give back, me and my dad are riding 140km across the Chiltern hills to raise awareness and funds for Thames Valley Air Ambulance. Any donation would be greatly appreciated!

 Their crews are there for people when they need them the most. Thames Valley Air Ambulance 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!
