Octogenarian Funds Five Lifesaving Missions

Thursday 19th August 2021

Shrewsbury man, Doug Boulter, 82, along with his friends has helped fund five critical care car missions for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

Eighty-two-year-old Doug and some friends completed a four and a half mile sponsored walk across rugged terrain of the forest and farmland in Snailbeach, in aid of the lifesaving pre-hospital emergency service. Doug raised in excess of £1,300 funding five of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s critical care car missions.

A longstanding supporter of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, Doug has fundraised for the service on multiple occasions in the past. Following a recent incident which was attended in the local area and required the enhanced pre-hospital expertise of the charity’s aircrew, Doug challenged himself to start fundraising again, this time with a physical challenge.

Doug Boulter said: “I would like to thank everyone who supported us so generously with their kind donations and for sponsoring our walk."

Maria Jones, Shropshire fundraising executive for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, added: “It is thanks to generous people, like Doug, who participate in challenges and sponsored walks and their kind supporters who donate, within the local community, that we are able to keep our helicopters in the skies and our critical care cars on the road.

“I’d like to say a huge well done and thank you to Doug for his loyal support over the years and for his continued fundraising efforts.”
