I often wondered how he would have done racing

Hi all. Following the tragic death of Dr John, it would be a fitting tribute to the guy to have NI's first air ambulance as a memorial to everything he did. H was an advocated and actually lobbied the local ministers to get one. It's bonkers that one has never been set up here. With some injuries being time critical for treatment, a helicopter from RAF Culdrose is the nearest???? Nuts, as it takes approx. 30 mins to get here.
If you could spare a mo to click, paste or struggle with the link below, I'd be very grateful if you could lend your name to the swelling campaign to get an air ambulance 'off the ground' {hardeehar} in Dr Hind's memory. Cheers Ali =]

It`s hard to believe this service is not available in NI. Just shows that over here how lucky we are, there are always collections going around for the helicopter fund. Well worth while fund and most of all...A LIFE SAVER.......petition signed, Steve.
