On Sunday, 20th July, members of the Absolar team participated in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance Runway Run, a unique event that provided the opportunity to run a lap of the runway at Southampton International Airport before aircraft began their landings.
The event was held in support of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance service, which is in the process of relocating to Southampton Airport. This relocation is crucial to enhancing the service’s ability to respond more quickly to emergency situations, potentially saving more lives across the region.
As part of the Operation Airbase Appeal, the air ambulance service is working to raise £3.6 million to fund the significant move to the airport. This campaign will enable them to provide faster and more efficient services to the communities they serve. For more information or to contribute, please visit Operation Airbase Appeal.
Despite challenging conditions, including a 4am alarm and heavy rain showers, the Absolar team remained determined, showcasing commitment to supporting this critical cause. Their participation in the Runway Run underscores Absolar’s dedication to making a positive impact in the community.
We would like to extend our congratulations to the entire organisating team, who not only braved the weather but also helped raise awareness for a life-saving service. A special thank you goes to Keith Wilson and his team for organizing such a memorable and impactful event.
Thanks Team Absolar. Hugely grateful to you all. 💚 💛
--- Keith Wilson, Director of Income and Engagement at Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance
