Last weekend, the 10th & 11th July, 6 intrepid ladies from Solution 4 Recruitment in Bishops Waltham set out to cycle 62 miles around the Isle of Wight, not only to raise funds for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance but also to collect bra’s for our Bag-a-Bra campaign.
The team are more used to finding jobs for PR, Marketing and Design specialists in the south, saddled up and cycled around various shops on the island who have been supporting the air ambulance’s Bag A Bra campaign. And there was only one way to carry the many bras they collected – draped on the bikes, worn by the cyclists themselves and even attached to their helmets, flapping in the breeze!
Melanie from Solutions4 Recruitment said: “Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance are our chosen charity for the year and we have already raised over £1,000 for them. This is such an important cause for us and we want to shout about what we are doing to encourage others to see how important the Air Ambulance is and adopt them as their chosen charity.”
Melanie adds, “HIOWAA first became important to me last year when a good friend fell off her horse and broke her back, she was in the middle of some woodland, a mile from the road. The speed of the Air Ambulance enabled her to get to hospital and be treated within a very short time frame.”
Well done to the ladies, and I understand there were some unusual donations along the way! A fantastic effort. Thank you.
