You don’t have to be in the UK to fundraise for Wales Air Ambulance, was the idea of Melinda Roach, of Neyland.

Melinda, who is the daughter of a Wales Air Ambulance volunteer from Milford Haven, Marian Rees, decided to seek sponsorship for a sky dive she intended completing whilst on her holidays.

The holiday consisted of following the British and Irish Lions on their tour of New Zealand and whilst at Lake Taupo in the North Island, Melinda successfully completed her challenge of sky diving for her charity.

The money she raised was match-funded by her employer, Barclays Bank, and she handed over to Tony Key, the Wales Air Ambulance co-ordinator for Pembrokeshire, a cheque for £420.

Anyone requiring information on the Wales Air Ambulance or requiring a presentation on the charity, please contact Tony by email [email protected] or go to www.walesairambulance.com for more information.
