Bike Ride - September 22 
Bike Ride BBC Radio Devon Air Ambulance Appeal Bike Ride 22nd September On Wednesday 22 September Margaret Weeks will be using pedal power to raise money for the BBC Radio Devon Air Ambulance Appeal. She is cycling from Torrington to Barnstaple and back to Torrington on the Tarka Trail, a distance of 28 miles, in aid of the appeal The Appeal hopes to raise the rest of the money needed for the charity to be able to place an order for a brand new purpose-built air ambulance in a year's time; some £600,000. It will replace the current leased helicopter. The charity decided buying - rather than leasing - a helicopter was a more efficient way of spending the hard-earned funds raised each year. They bought a Eurocopter EC135 in 2008, replacing the then leased Exeter-based Air Ambulance. Each year the trust must raise £4 million in order keep the two air ambulances airborne. The helicopter will operate from the new airbase, just opened at Eaglescott Airfield near Umberleigh. So contact Margaret to sign her sponsor form and support her and this fantastic appeal.
