THAMES Valley Air Ambulance has launched a Christmas appeal featuring real stories from across the organisation’s history.
The appeal aims to act as a reminder that each of its call-outs has the chance to change the lives of those going through significant trauma.
This year’s appeal features a video exploring the experiences of those whose lives have been saved by the charity, including Berkshire resident Paul Dilley who had a cardiac arrest in 2018.
His wife, Kate, said: “I could have lost my husband, the father of our children, my best friend, and I didn’t.
“That was pretty much down to what they did that day.”
Amanda McLean, Chief Executive Officer at Thames Valley Air Ambulance, said:
“For the last 25 years, our community have kept us on the frontline of saving lives. Our latest Christmas appeal gives a glimpse into some of the people we’ve treated over the years – some of the people who are around this Christmas because of your support.
“We know Christmas can be an expensive time, but a donation to our charity isn’t your average Christmas present–it’s a gift to the entire community.
“If you can, please add Thames Valley Air Ambulance to your shopping list. You could give the gift of life.”
The full appeal, as well as information about how to donate, is available via: tvairambulance.org.uk/lifesaver
