Can you help this truly worthy cause?

Forget appeals for world disasters, animal welfare, human rights – let’s help one of our own for a change!

Please read the following, I don’t need to say any more:-

i cant beleive that the air ambulance gets no funding from the government at all  :shock: and my beer tax goes where?

im hoping to be there, but due to exams cant promise anything

[Tom Mc]

Couldn't agree more. Actually you beat me to it as I was just having a rant on another forum and posted this ...

Fair enough, an auction for the Lincs Air Ambulance is Gresh's way of thanking the helicopter crew for their great work (nobody could deny him that), but what I want to know is why are the Air Ambulances still run on a charity basis given that these days they are an integral part of the emergency services? It's the 21st century for Gawd's sake, they should be funded by central government, not by donation!! It’s disgusting.

Great minds?

[kizz81]

Great minds is one way of putting it  :lol:

thats mainly what made me and marc choose the air ambulance to do for the rally, we had no idea how they helped the gresh's just makes us all the more happy to help them

look out for me at most of the shows this year  :lol: ill be coming at you all with my collection tin  :lol:

Just to let you all know, in just an hour via 91 separate lots the Greshlets Charity Action at the LRO Spring Adventure Show in Driffield, East Yorkshire raised over £5,000 + a splendid donation of £1,500 by the committee of LRO Editor John Pearson’s local village. FAIR PLAY!!!

That’s more than £6,500 going to Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance!

On behalf of Gresh and family … thank you one and all.

I'll second this, I have seen them perform miracles at not only the Tattershall bridge RTA but also many others.

Its about time the government put it hand in its pocket and started funding some of these things insted of wasting money on leaflets about to be diverse. which is what the NHS probably suffers from as much as the police service.

if any one feels they want to donate towards the notts and lincs air ambulance, i dont have a link for greshs page , but i have set up a page for the landy rally we chosen them as out charity after watching the richard hammond crash except we dont live near him so we chose our local

I agree with you guys,whilst at work today there was an accident and i was there as part of the medical cover for the event,we had to call in the NHS who called for Yorkshire helimed to attend and evac the teenager to hospital.
