Go Off to Lift Off

Whether you choose to go off alcohol, sweet treats, fizzy drinks, take-aways, meat, dairy or swear words, to name a few – by donating a little and asking your family, friends and loved ones to sponsor your efforts, you’ll help Air Ambulance lift off for another day! And we’ll support you along the way with tips of encouragement and patient stories of impact, to motivate you through the weeks.
We all make goals and resolutions at the start of a new year so why not give it a go and help our helicopter ‘lift off’ for another day and respond to emergencies across the province.

Marcella from Castlederg, Co Tyrone previously gave up alcohol & ran 3miles per day for Air Ambulance NI.
Castlederg teacher Marcella Robinson raised over £2,500 for Air Ambulance NI by combing her alcohol free challenge with a 3 mile run a day in June 2020.
Marcella, decided to take on the challenge during the Covid-19 lockdown period as a way of maintaining a routine to her days working from home as well as raising funds for charity.
Marcella said:
“You feel reenergised and empowered, however, the weekends are a little quieter of course!! But when you start seeing the pounds coming in for your chosen charity, you very quickly get over your own desire to have a wee glass of wine”
