In their words
Why supporters love it
I joined as it combines my love of hiking and emergency medicine… supporting the amazing team by fundraising gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
It is great to be able to choose which events to support… Everyone is so friendly… It gives a great sense of community.
I have participated in fundraising events, vehicle checks and general maintenance… I take satisfaction in promoting awareness of the Team’s mission.
Whether it’s holding a collecting tin or extracting a casualty from a steep hillside, both roles are equally important in keeping the team effective.
