Ultimate Endurance

Warning to all couch potatoes, you will find this extremely stressful!

London’s Air Ambulance pilot, Captain Neil Jeffers, and doctor, Dr. Tom Konig, are soon to complete the ultimate endurance test, seeing them run 8 marathons in 6 days through the deserts of Jordan, in a bid to raise money for the charity. On 3rd September 2011 the London’s Air Ambulance duo will be running 200 miles (360 km) through Wadi Rum, a protected area covering 720 square kilometres of dramatic desert wilderness in the south of Jordan, and will finish at Petra.

Thanks to London's Air Ambulance service you will be rescued without having to show an insurance card or a bank card. Their medical expertise at the scene of an accident may be critical in saving your life. This is a charity.

On their days off they run 8 marathons in the dessert to fund saving you're life!

Londoners and anyone who has ever visited or intends to visit London find a few £'s to support these guys.

Monopoly - Community Chest

You know the square, pick up a card. Go to jail, get out of jail free, pay school fees, it's your birthday collect £10, Life insurance matures collect £100, Pay hospital fees of £100, etc.

In the UK if you have an accident you will be rescued. You will be treated in hospital and you wont be asked to show an insurance card first.
One of the organisations that may be called out to rescue you is the London Air Ambulance,. Road accidents, falls from heights, stabbings, shootings, all in a day's work for them.
They are a charity and need to raise funds. Last weekend a few brave souls abseiled off this building at Canary Wharf and convinced friends family and the general public to donate for their bravery or is that madness. Looked pretty scary to me.

Next fund raising event is a road race in July. You can enter or donate or both.
