Donations to YAA

For anyone who's been reading online or hearing the news about the very encouraging progress made by the Hamster, AKA Richard Hammond (he's now in a general ward and there are reports of him sitting up and eating cornflakes) if anyone wants to make a donation to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) service a website that has been set up to give donations is here.

The YAA very probably played a large part in saving Richard's life, and as my parents, sister and nephews all live in South Yorkshire (although I hope that they'll never need the YAA's services), I'm extremely happy that people have been so generous with their money - one person alone gave £50,000 which is mind-bogglingly generous and so far the donations, adding in the tax relief that UK residents can elect for, totals around £175,000.

Thanks to topgeartotty (a fine LJ community *g*) for the info.
