ZyroFisher donates over £2,800 to the Great North & Yorkshire Air Ambulance appeals

Zyrofisher has announced that it has donated £2,844 to the Great North & Yorkshire Air Ambulance appeals as a result of its board of directors undertaking the Reiver Coast to Coast route on their bikes.

Following donations from suppliers, colleagues, friends and family, the money raised was then matched by ZyroFisher and has been split between both charities.

Rob Haycock, CEO, ZyroFisher said: “Thanks to the generosity of those who donated to our Directors Coast to Coast, we are able to provide much needed funds to these two wonderful organisations who are so relevant to those of us regularly heading out on our bikes. The route we chose certainly challenged us all but we were compensated with some amazing views.”

Julia Jameson, Corporate Funding Officer, Great North Air Ambulance said: “We can’t thank ZyroFisher enough for their fundraising efforts. Each year, we need to raise more than £5 million pounds to survive, and it is through efforts like this that we’re able to continue to provide life-saving critical care across the region. We’re eternally grateful for your support and there is no doubt that through this kind donation, lives will be saved.”

Tessa Klemz, North Yorkshire Community Fundraiser added: “We are so grateful to ZyroFisher’s Directors for taking on the Coast to Coast challenge in support of Yorkshire Air Ambulance. The team of cyclists took part in an amazing challenge and their fundraising really is the lifeblood of the charity and contributes enormously to the £12,000 needed each day to keep the two yellow helicopters flying across Yorkshire saving lives.”
