Megan and Jemma Newell, Coagh present a cheque for £14,240 to Damien McAnespie from Air Ambulance NI Charity following a coffee morning and raffle held at Donaghendry Parish Church, Stewartstown in memory of their late brother Adam Newell on what would have been his 21st birthday. The Newell family are very grateful of all the support from the community and businesses which helped to raise such an amazing total.
Since Adam’s untimely passing in October 2021, the Newell family, friends and wider community have raised over £29,000 for Air Ambulance NI in his memory via donations in lieu of flowers and fundraising events each year. Their support has funded the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for over four days, potentially saving the lives, brains or limbs of eight individuals in the region. Air Ambulance NI would like to thank Andrew, Mary, Megan and Jemma for their humbling support in memory of Adam, we are very grateful for their incredible donation.
