    Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge

    Our Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge is scheduled to take place on 16th May 2021. In previous years, online registration has taken place during December. However, with the current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in place, we have decided to delay online registration until February. As soon as we have any information, we will share it via our website and social media channels.

    Below you will find a variety of information and resources for our Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge and details of how you can get involved.

    Why Should I Take Part?

    Many of those who take part in our Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge include patients who have experienced the work of the air ambulance first-hand, those who want to cycle in memory of a loved one, as part of a team, or simply want to challenge themselves and support the Charity in return. No matter your reason, you can feel proud that your fundraising will make a big difference to so many peoples’ lives. Read more

      2 mile walk for Air Ambulances Save a Life Challenge

      Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance (DSAA) is a registered charity, established to provide relief from sickness and injury for the people of Dorset and Somerset, by the provision of an air ambulance.

      I’m supporting DSAA as they receive no direct funding from the Government or the National Lottery and rely on the generosity of the public for support. Their operational costs are over £4 million a year and the approximate cost per mission is £3,000.
