Cornwall Air Ambulance is calling on you to join the mission to bring home a second helicopter this Air Ambulance Week.
The national awareness week (Sep 9-15) is highlighting the importance of air ambulance charities across the country and their lifesaving work, with the message “today’s supporter, tomorrow’s lifesaver”.
During an important year with the Heli2 Appeal, Cornwall Air Ambulance is using the week to emphasise how a second high-specification AW169 aircraft will help the charity boost the resilience and capability of its service.
Paul Maskell, critical care paramedic, said: “It’s really important that we get a second AW169. What that will do is increase our capability across the 365 days, 19 hours that we cover. We’ll be able to fly to more patients and ultimately save more lives across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.”
To mark the awareness week, St Michael’s Mount will be lighting up red from 8pm this Thusday for Cornwall Air Ambulance.
