Over 100 participants kindly stepped up to the plate and supported Devon Air Ambulance (DAA) this March raising over £20k in their latest fundraising venture.

The charity’s second virtual event, titled the March march Challenge, saw participants from across the county as well as further afield including Canada, complete an average of 10,000 steps a day throughout the month of March.

After DAA suffered a huge financial shortfall last year due to closed shops and cancelled events, this latest activity has so far delivered a fantastic £21,720k boost to kick off the charity’s fundraising for 2021 and the charity are incredibly proud of everyone who took part.

As well as raising much needed funds for the charity, the event promoted health and wellbeing through physical activity, and a sense of involvement for participants via a private Facebook group in which steppers were able to support each other as well as share their daily progress.
