Air Ambulance Heroes Run off to a flying start!

The sun shone on Sunday to provide a fantastic backdrop to a successful and fun filled day at the Air Ambulance Heroes Run event held at Dishley Grange, Loughborough. After being tasked to organise and manage a series of four Heroes run events for Air Ambulance across the Midlands, it was great to see the first of these get off to such a fantastic start. Men, women, and children of all ages turned out to take part in the run, sporting a wide range of colourful Super Hero costumes that ranged from full scuba diving gear, to women in superhero pants, to entire families dressed as superwoman, superman and spiderman. And for those people who preferred a more leisurely pace, a Sunday morning stroll around the course with the dog proved to be a big hit too.

Cat Foster, Fundraising Manager for Air Ambulance said “ The run was a great success with around 300 runners, families and friends demonstrating their support for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and we would like to thank everyone who turned up to support this life saving charity”

So, if you want to show your support for your local Air Ambulance Heroes, sign up for an event near you. Registration is simple, just go to www.wnaa.co.uk or www.dlraa.co.uk and with a few clicks you're signed up!

New life breathed into two Air Ambulance Websites

Fantastic news. Air Ambulance websites have been given a new lease of life, so both dlraa.co.uk and wnaa.co.uk are now live!

Percorsi were up against extremely tight timescales to produce dynamic changes to the two sites, and at the same time maintaining brand consistency as well as the individual identities of DLRAA and WNAA. Essential features of the websites included clear and direct access to users page of interest, with relevant and up to date links and strong calls to action for this crucial service. The result is an engaging and vibrant site, which includes: eCommerce, Donation gateway, full Content Management System, RSS News Feeds, Video Integration, and a complete Intranet for employees.

Phew, we’ve barely had time to draw breath before we’re on to our next one!
