Every 10 minutes an air ambulance takes off to attend the injured and save lives. UK coverage is provided by local air ambulances, many of which do not receive government or lottery funding and rely on donations from the public to remain in service.

The group BRoW4 (Bike Run or Walk 4) is providing an opportunity for people to raise money for their local air ambulance.
