East Anglian Air Ambulance

Get up and Grow Yellow for Get Up and Go Yellow this June

To help spread a bit of yellow cheer as we exit lockdown, East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is encouraging supporters to grow sunflowers as part of its annual fundraising campaign, Get Up and Go Yellow. For anyone who is feeling competitive, there will be an online competition to see who can grow the biggest sunflower by June! To take part in the competition simply sign up online and make a donation. Thanks to a new charity partnership with a seed company called Limagrain, EAAA can also send out some sunflower seeds to help get you started (while stocks last). Visit www.eaaa.org.uk/growyellow for more information and to request your seeds.

Get trekking Trek 24, Saturday 4 September, Hexton Manor

After having to cancel all community fundraising events in 2020 due to the pandemic, EAAA is looking forward to being able to safely bring people together again to help support its life-saving crews. Brand new in Bedfordshire for this September is an exciting walking event called Trek 24. EAAA is encouraging you to put your daily lockdown walks to the test by joining the charity on Saturday 4 September for either a 24km or 24 mile trek. Starting and finishing within the beautiful grounds of Hexton Manor, you will be able to take in the stunning countryside views along your chosen route. All funds raised will help the charity in its mission to start flying 24/7 this year, to help even more people in their hour of need. After trialling Trek 24 in Norfolk in 2019, raising over £100,000 for the charity, EAAA is excited to bring this walking challenge to Bedfordshire for the first time. Refreshments are provided along the route and there will also be a hot meal and glass of fizz at the finish line, to help celebrate completing the trek. Early bird tickets cost from £20 (with a sponsorship requirement of £200) and are on sale until 31 May. You can also opt for a part funded ticket option from £80, with a £100 sponsorship requirement. For more info and to sign up, head to: www.trek-24.co.uk
