Update of the Charity Fund Raising
for the Great North Air Ambulance

Carol and Steve have been at it again - they raised £133.50 for the GNAA at BikeWise! (See the note below). Well done again! Guess the mileage was won by J. Blakey who won a Ride Check Assessment. If he takes the offer, the cost will be deducted from his Skills for Life fee. His guess was 42,751 with the actual being 42,531.

There is a new runout on the 28th September (not in the diary) which is being organised by the Great North Air Ambulance. It is billed as a Mystery Ride Out and starts at Police HQ Aykley Heads 10.00am sharp. There is a small donation of £5.00 to make towards costs.

Steve Scott and his partner, Carol, went to the Kelso BMF show recently where Carol raised a magnificent £85 for the GNAA. Well done Carol.

A very generous sum was raised throughout 2007 and a cheque was presented to the GNAA.
A letter of thanks was sent to DAM and is shown below. Well done to everyone involved.

Dear All,

The Great North Air Ambulance Service would like to thank you for choosing to support our charity'. The money raised, £800.00 is a most generous amount to receive and is very much appreciated. Thank you all for your hard work.

The Great North Air Ambulance Service operates three aircraft, based at Durham Tees Valley Airport, Penrith in Cumbria, and Northumberland.

The fundamental aims of the Charity are:

•To provide an air ambulance service across the region .
•To provide and maintain aircraft and other associated equipment.
•To provide education and training for medical professionals in emergency and pre-hospital care.

The Charity’s ability to deliver its objectives is entirely dependant on sufficient income, which in our case comes entirely from our own income generation activities and public donations. We receive no support from either the Government or National Lottery meaning we are neither subject nor beholden to any other agency. Consequently, this guarded independence ensures that so long as the public supports the Charity, the service it provides will always be available.

This is why a donation such as yours is absolutely vital to enable us to keep this life saving service in operation.

Again thank you.

Yours sincerely

Mandy Drake
