What our fundraisers say

‘‘Running for TASC was my way of saying thank you to the ambulance staff who helped my mum when she needed them the most. From the minute I decided to run for TASC, the charity was nothing but supportive, encouraging and an overall an amazing charity to fundraise for and I look forward to fundraising for them again in the future.’’

Chloe, Brighton, ran the Brighton Half Marathon for TASC

What our fundraisers say

“I have worked for the Scottish ambulance for nearly 8 years and I have seen colleagues leave or retire early through injury and illness and what attracted me to TASC is that they have a great support network for ambulance crews across the UK. I hope by achieving my goals, that I will be able to promote other colleagues to maybe consider raising money for TASC in the near future.’’

Alastair, completed three half-marathons in 14 days for TASC
