North West Air Ambulance Charity are delighted to be the chosen charity for the 2019 Waters Wilmslow Half Marathon. Join Team NWAA and run to help our crew save lives!

How to get involved:

We have charity places available in return for a pledge to raise £100 in sponsorship. If you would like to apply for one of our charity places please complete the application form below.

Alternatively you can book and pay for your own place directly at www.wilmslowhalfmarathon.org.uk/how-to-enter and raise as much as you can. Make sure you tick to support NWAA so the organisers send us your details and we can support you with your free fundraising pack.

If you’ve already got a place we would love to welcome you to Team NWAA. There’s no minimum fundraising target, just have fun and raise as much as you can! Register now to request your free fundraising pack or get in touch with our fundraising team on 0800 587 4570 or fundraising@nwaa.net.

Here are some of the ways in which your hard earned sponsorship could help change the lives of people right here in the North West.

• £9 could fuel our aircraft for one minute of a mission
• £25 could buy a warming blanket, essential to maintain the body temperature of severe trauma patients such as those who have suffered cardiac arrest
• £100 could be enough to help save the life of a seriously ill patient by buying a surgical airway kit crucial in life-threatening situations, such as airway obstruction or facial trauma
• £250 could supply a primary response bag that carries the drugs and medical equipment our medical team needs to treat patients in major trauma accidents
