Carol from Melksham's story

"I’m just so, so grateful for everything they did for me. Had it not been for Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity I wouldn’t have seen my grandchildren grow up"

Carol Gray was involved in a major road traffic collision when driving back to her home in Melksham and needed to be flown to Frenchay Hospital in Bristol.
