LETTERS Postbag 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. Timothy Shead Here’s my picture of the air ambulance landed on a green in Blandford.
