The lockdowns around the world are easing, down and people are slowly gaining the confidence back to venture out and involve in matters that are pressing for a society to function normally. One of such activities is medical flight charity. Countries like the United Kingdom depend heavily on public contributions to keep the air ambulance services running. Here are a few developments that stand evidence to the fact that they are inching towards normalcy.

Alfie is a part of #TheCrew, a children’s club, involved in raising money for the worthy cause.
Medics in Ireland take up Cycling Challenge to Raise Money
A team of 11, comprising of an engineer, six doctors, and 4 paramedics is all set to take up a cycling challenge that will cover 110 miles. The effort has come in the face of COVID-19 pandemic, which stalled several fund-raising efforts. The endurance challenge is set to take place between the 2nd and 3rd of October. The expectation is that it will raise the much-needed funds to keep the medical flight services going. They are doing this for the Northern Ireland Air Ambulance.
