The Forces Children’s Trust.

The purpose of the Forces Children's Trust is to assist dependent children who are in need, whose father or mother has died or is seriously injured whilst a serving member of the Armed Forces. 

It was founded by Mr. Denny Wise who, with his extensive show-business background and contacts, had spent many years giving so much time to fund-raising for so many good causes and charities.
On the 23rd August 2003 a unit of the Royal Military Police was ambushed in Basra, Iraq, whilst travelling in an un-armoured civilian vehicle. The only survivor of the tragedy was Corporal Richard Lay. Killed in action were Major Matthew Titchener, Dewi Pritchard and Colin Wall. All of the soldiers above had Children.

“This Charity is very small and any funds we raise will help in a huge way. One Sponsor would generate a years worth of donations!”.

Many of the UK’s Air ambulances are NOT paid for by the Government, the Paramedics and pilots can often be found shaking pots in the streets so that they can buy more fuel and save more life’s.

10 of the Regional Air Ambulances across the UK will benefit from the money raised from this event. 50% will be split between the air ambulances our route passes over.

Cornwall will be the first to benefit which is fitting as it was the UK’s first ever Air Ambulance and set the ball rolling for the rest of the UK.

There are a number of reasons why The Air Ambulance’s should benefit from this flights fund raising. Not least the danger involved in Paramotoring, way more so though, Paragliding, Motorcycling, Horse racing, even driving to work! The list is endless the money pot is not.
