🌟 SOME PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON… 🌟

One year ago, Wendy and David found themselves seated beside a gentleman on a flight. As usual, it wasn’t long before they started chatting about the cause closest to our hearts, Air Ambulance Northern Ireland 🚁🚁

That gentleman was Mr. Gerry Mullan from Garvagh. Gerry told them to let him know when our next big event was coming up because he wanted to support it.

And wow… did he ever deliver! 🙌

Not only did Gerry generously donate a 1-week stay in his Tenerife home plus flights for 4 people, which became our incredible Golden Ticket prize at our Charity Gala Ball, but his support didn't stop there.

When Gerry met with Tony, the two hit it off straight away, sparking a fantastic friendship.

Gerry went far beyond donating an amazing prize:

🎟️ He took car raffle tickets to sell… and kept coming back for more, again and again!

🎟 He got his lovely wife Bernie and 3 daughters Mary, Niamh and Emma roped into helping.

🎟️ The night before our Gala Ball, they handed over the ticket stubs along with a breathtaking £31,000 raised!

🎟️ And even in the last few days, Gerry met up with Tony again, still handing over extra donations!

In fact, Gerry’s continued fundraising is the exact reason we haven't announced our final grand total just yet!

Gerry, you are an absolute legend and a true friend to our team and Air Ambulance NI. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

❤️ helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) saves lives every day, and supporters like you make it all possible.

Please join us in giving Gerry the huge shout-out he deserves in the comments below! 👇👏
