I LIKE most people never knew what the Air Ambulance was until a year ago when a friend asked me to get involved in a charity quiz night to raise funds for it. Since then I have been a co-ordinator involved in fund-raising for this most worthy cause.

I used to look at the yellow helicopter with the AA logo and I thought it was just an AA road watchers helicopter. Little did I know that this yellow helicopter was doing such a valued job.

This is a most valuable asset to the people of the North West and with no government funding we rely on public donations. So you can help by donating unwanted gifts for our raffles, or make a pledge, or join our monthly 300 Club draw costing just £1 per month. For further details call Karen on 399796.
