TEAM CCCU PARA SOC TAKES ON THE LONDON LANDMARKS HALF MARATHON 🏃‍♀️🚑✨

This year, Poppy, Jess and Amelia are taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon!

Each of us is running for a cause that means something deeply personal to us as student paramedics:

🚁 Jess is fundraising for KSS Air Ambulance, supporting the life-saving service covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
🧠 Amelia is running for Rethink Mental Illness, championing better support for those struggling with mental health.
🚑 Poppy is supporting London’s Air Ambulance, helping fund the amazing service provided by London Air Ambulance.

During our training we’ve seen first-hand how vital these services are . If you’re able to support, donate, or simply cheer us on , we would be very grateful! 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️✨🚑
