Without being able to hold face to face events for 8 months this year - the generosity of the community far and wide via donations, sponsorship and any other support we were afforded, meant that we still received valuable fundraising for the Service. #staysafe #rescuehelicopter THANK YOU to everyone who supports us in any way.
