"We owe everthing to the Great North Air Ambulance"
Grace Gardiner was only four months old when she started vomiting severely at her home in Penrith. She was taken to the Cumberland infirmary in Carlisle by her mother, Helen.
It was revealed Grace has a blockage in her bowels and needed emergency surgery, but the hospital she was at didn’t have the facilities to carry this out.
The GNAAS critical care team offered to airlift her to the RVI in Newcastle.
A gift in your Will could help us be there for people like Grace.
