Date:

L-R: Captain Mario Carretta, SP-CC Lauren Dyson, Co-pilot Tom Gee and Dr Tony Doyle

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is thrilled to announce the return of its 100 Miles in October Challenge! Back for a second year, this exciting event invites everyone to support the life-saving service by ‘moving’ 100 miles throughout October.
Whether you prefer to walk, run, cycle, swim or hop your way through October, the 100 Miles
Challenge is for everyone!
You can complete your miles at your own pace, anytime and
anywhere. It’s free to sign up and you will receive a complimentary t-shirt to wear once you have activated your fundraising page, so you can look great while clocking up those miles. Plus,
there are exciting rewards and a special medal for those who complete the challenge and meet
their fundraising goals!
Tracy Bartram, DSAA Communications Manager said:
‘Last year, we had hundreds of people join our 100 Miles in October Facebook Challenge Group and it became a brilliant hub of engagement between everyone that was taking part. There were messages of support for each other and photos uploaded daily of people walking, running, stepping, or cycling their miles throughout the month. In total, the event raised an incredible £21,829.03 and we are hoping that this year we can build on that success. With that in mind, we’ve made some enhancements for 2024, including other ways that people can fundraise while taking part and rewards to thank those that do. We can’t wait to see and engage with our supporters as they smile their way through the month and we will be there every step of the way.’
