Kent Air Ambulance is appealing for volunteers to help with street collections throughout the county during Air Ambulance Week. Members of the public are needed to carry out bucket collections in High Streets, supermarkets and shopping centres between 23rd and 25th September.
A retired shopkeeper who has helped raise thousands of pounds for the Kent Air Ambulance had to call on the life-saving service himself after suffering a heart attack. Maidstone Lions Club president John Bradford, 73, was at his home in Allington when he suddenly collapsed with a cardiac arrest.
Family and friends of a Maidstone man killed in a motorbike accident have raised enough money to help the Kent Air Ambulance potentially save four lives. Dean Smith, 38, died when he came off his bike on a country lane in May last year. It took the helicopter just 12 minutes to get to him but he sadly died at the scene.
