Fun at the fundraiser
Thank you for your letter. It was a pleasure
to donate to the Dorset and Somerset Air
Ambulance and so nice to receive a letter of
thanks. We’ve been visiting Worth Farm in
Somerset for the past six years and, having
a very poorly 10-year-old son with us, we
never know when we might need you! We
had a lovely time at the fundraising event
and look forward to attending again next
year. Please find attached a photograph of
me and my son Joe enjoying the evening.
Best wishes, Toni and Joe Underwood
Wall-top wonders
My children, Jacob (7) and Grace (5), recently
held a wall-top sale outside our house. They
decided to sell DVDs and books that they no
longer needed and they wanted the money
to go to the air ambulance. Please find
enclosed a cheque and a photo of them (top
right) with a poster they made. Thank you
for all the amazing work that you do.
Best wishes, Sarah Barnard
Sharing the joy
On 2 Sept we celebrated our ruby wedding
anniversary. Instead of presents, we asked
for donations for our two charities, the
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and
the Labrador Rescue Trust. We raised £200
so we divided it between both. I hope it will
help a little towards the wonderful work
you do!
Best wishes, Jim and Pam White
Forever grateful
I wanted to thank you all from the very
bottom of my heart for trying to save my
grandad’s life on Sunday. He believed he
was ‘past it’ at 88 years old and that people
wouldn’t care, but you came! After my
mum’s emergency call, First Responders,
a land ambulance and the air ambulance
arrived. I hope he knew that you came for
him and for that I will be forever grateful.
Much respect and many thanks, Mrs D Stone
Brilliant Buggies and Brunch
My name is Maddison Norman and I am
eight years old. My friend George Harrison
(aged 6) and I, with the help of the ‘Buggies
and Brunch Group’ (which I attend once
a month), did a sale of goods and raised
£60.60. I would love to donate this to the air
ambulance to say thank you for all the good
work you do.
Love Maddison and George xx
Small world
I saw the air ambulance at Musgrove
Park Hospital in Taunton today. Popped
over to talk to the pilot and discovered
he was the pilot who took my mum to
hospital last week after she had a cardiac
arrest and needed urgent care. I said thank
you and shook his hand; what else can you
say to your great crew? Thank you from all
my family.
