As mentioned in a Blog post last year (https://motoaero.weebly.com/motoaeros-blog/supporting-lincolnshire-nottinghamshire-air-ambulance-in-2019) I aimed to raise some cash for the Air Ambulance by donating a portion of my photo sales proceeds to them in 2019. Well I'm delighted to announce that I was able to donate £110 to the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance in January and those lovely folk there sent me a certificate to prove it! Thanks to everyone who bought my photos last year. For me it's only a hobby, but to be able to raise a few quid for a super worthy cause whilst doing it is brilliant.
This year I'll be trying to raise some cash for my own favourite charity Sarcoidosis UK. This is a cause that is very close to my heart.......literally! I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2014 and as it affected my heart as well as my lungs the initial diagnosis was not great. I had a five year life expectancy of less than 30% but thanks to the outstanding care provided by my local hospital and the Royal Brompton and Harefield Trust I'm now in a good place. It has been a life changing experience for me though so I'm determined to help fund the only UK charity dedicated to fighting this largely unknown and under-funded disease. Once again, 50% of proceeds from my photo sales will go to the charity so come on, all you have to do is buy a few photos and though I say so myself they are generally pretty good.
