Mission 40 2025

I'm walking 40 miles in March

I'm taking on 40 miles this March to raise money for this wonderful service that saved my life.

40 miles matches the average distance that the Thames Valley Air Ambulance helicopter flies to reach an emergency. And it's almost exactly the distance they travelled to reach me after my accident.


The challenge for me is to walk 40 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!
