That's excellent news The GNAA team will be delighted with that income; it cost over £1million pounds a year to run a Helicopter and they have three! Covering all of England north of York and the A66, coast to coast. A popular area for walking (Pennines, Lake District, North Yorks Moors, Yorkshire Dales and Northumbria). With a good network of roads to have accidents on and all of this remote from A&E services. The helicopters are on standby 24/7 and are situated to enable them to be anywhere in the areas described within 15 minutes flying time. Jumping on my soap box (OK, OK, I live on the d@mned thing!) I am staggered that the NHS don't fund these services (there are several more throughout the country - 31 I think in England and Wales www.airambulanceassociation.co.uk/find_your_air_ambulance.php). Out of an NHS budget of £90billion www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/aboutnhs/Pages/About.aspx (probably more now but I'm not sure if that also covers Scotland and Northern Ireland), you would think someone could find £60 million (let's say it costs £2million per helicopter) Jaz - it's total funds raised of £243,000 since Jun 06 www.boundary500.co.uk/index.phpAnyway - well done Blitzman and the Boundary group. I bet you're very pleased you didn't need the GNAA when you came a cropper on your ZX10 |

Thanks jazz66 for the amount yes from the summer of 2006 to 2009
the following letter was sent to all involved from the guy who started all this group
Hi everyone. Just to keep everyone up to speed following our presentation evening on Friday 25th September 2009.
The event was extremely well attended by about 180 people. Since January 2009 the Group have raised a minimum of £45,256 pounds. Since June 2006 the group have raised for both The Great North Air Ambulance and Zoes Baby Hospice, £243,306 which I think you will agree is a fantastic amount in just over three years.
The excecutive of the Great North Air Ambulance are in the process of changing the three helicopters. As a result of all your hard work and dedication to the cause they have decided that all three helicopters will now carry the Boundary 500 Motorcycle Group Logo. That is absolutley brillant and shows how well thought of you all are. I will keep updating you with further news when I receive it.
Many thanks for your continued support.
Take care.
Brian.
We were also told we were able to provide enough money to fund over 100 mercy missions
