Raising money for charity as part of the Salar attempt will give me a massive psychological boost and, more importantly, will provide benefits for a very worthy cause.
I have chosen East Anglian Air Ambulance, a local charity which provides a valuable service in life threatening situations such as road traffic accidents, incidents involving people in inaccessible places, cardiac arrests, etc. On average the EAAA are called to four incidents a day and need over £3M a year to keep their two helicopters in the air.
