Story

Hello all!

Thank you for looking at my page!

Most of you will already know I'm going off to my Peru adventure on 22nd April, and this involves trekking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu over four days....all 26 miles (43km) of it!!

It will be a huge challenge for me to say the least! So I've decided I will give myself some motivation and raise some money for a Charity close to my heart in the process!

As you all should know, I work with the County Air Ambulance Trust, and the HELP Appeal. I've seen first hand the impact they have, and just how important getting Helipads at major trauma centres and key A&E hospitals is. 

Since 2009, the HELP Appeal has been providing significant grants to fund life-saving helipads at Major Trauma Centres and key A & E Hospitals around England and Scotland.

Every flight, every landing, every life, depends entirely on the financial generosity of individuals. As we don’t receive one single penny in Government or National Lottery funding.

Charitable donations are our lifeblood without which we would not exist and helipads might not be built or upgraded!

This is why I'm fundraising for the HELP Appeal on my Inca Trail trek, if the HELP Appeal can't spur me on when I'm weary, exhausted, hot and miserable...nothing will! Making it to the Machu Picchu site will be an achievement in itself for me, for more reasons than one. But doing it knowing I'm helping a good cause will mean so much to me.

Hope you can all help me reach my goal, I really do appreciate it! Dig deep! :)

Love you all,

Hannah. #Pollieisback
