Philip

This year charitable income at Devon Air Ambulance has been hit
hard due to the hundreds of fundraising events cancelled
throughout Devon.

Itis only thanks to supporters like you, together
with the expertise of the Devon Air Ambulance
crew, that Philip had emergency treatment at the
scene and survived a catastrophic motorbike
collision in which he suffered a bruised heart and
three spinal fractures.

“I'm just so grateful to everyone who
helped me that day; | definitely think
someone was watching over me.
Everyone was just brilliant.
Devon Air Ambulance didn’t just save a
motorcyclist, they saved a son, a husband,
a father and a friend too. | will always
remember that”. Philip Sully Da Silva.
