13. A big cheque!
Lady Captain Jennifer McNeill from Tandragee Golf Club was delighted to hand over a cheque for an incredible £3,022 to Air Ambulance Northern Ireland. After seeing the helicopter flying over her house to attend critical incidents in her local area, Jennifer decided to support the lifesaving service as her chosen charity, in her term as Lady Captain at the club. The charity Air Ambulance NI (AANI), in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, provides the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for Northern Ireland. The HEMS team attend patients who are seriously ill or injured, bringing emergency prehospital care direct to the casualty, operating seven days a week for 12 hours per day. It can get to anywhere in Northern Ireland in approximately 25 minutes with the aim of saving lives, brains and limbs. Amy Henshaw, area fundraising manager for AANI commented; ‘Tandragee Golf Club and its members have been wonderful supporters to the charity over the years and this is another terrific donation, presented by this year’s Lady Captain Jennifer McNeill. Thank you sincerely for choosing Air Ambulance NI as your chosen charity and for your ongoing support that will help keep our medical crew in the air, delivering urgent care, for the next critical patient.’’ Photo: Air Ambulance Northern Ireland
