It was a busy Saturday morning on 6th July 2002, when 35-year-old Marcus Watkin from Shrewsbury was towards the back of a group of ten motorcyclists on their way to Wales.

Marcus credits Midlands Air Ambulance Charity with saving his life, and decided to show his gratitude by initially donating and supporting at events. He’s now a hugely valued volunteer with years of experience, delivering talks to communities and sharing his incredible story.

“Undoubtedly, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity saved my life. Every second counted in getting me to hospital and into theatre. If I hadn’t been airlifted, I wouldn’t have made it to the hospital alive.”
