We are so grateful for the support, while still over half way to go we are still looking forward to seeing how we can still grow this to reach the required deposit. Please RT and help if you can, every penny really does matter and will make a difference
We've raised £1.2 million towards the deposit for a third aircraft and we are so incredibly grateful for your help 💚 But that's just 48% of the total we need to protect the future of our service. If you are able to support us, please consider donating: gna.as/supportourservice

Not going to lie, found it such a challenge, wanted to give up, but DIDN'T, now i've got blisters on blisters...While it wasn't a time i'd hoped for on signing up I am proud I got to the end. Very disappointed I never got a GNR t shirt as they had ran out justgiving.com/page/amanda-s…

In less than 2 weeks @GNairambulance have many participants, taking part in the Great North Run. With the weather being as hot as it has been, we've a feeling more water may be required. If you, or your employer, are able to help, we'd be extremely grateful for your support. 🚁💚
