Motorsport legend John Surtees OBE has presented a £75,000 cheque to charity Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance, on behalf of the Henry Surtees Foundation. The presentation, which took place at Mercedes-Benz World, Surrey, was made to the air ambulance chief executive Adrian Bell. The money will be used for ‘High Fidelity Simulators’, the very latest in simulation technology, helping the clinical teams to practice their skills, learn new techniques and improve patient safety by creating situations that are as close to real life as possible.
Speaking of the charity, John Surtees OBE, said “With a background in motorsport, I know that every second counts and none more so than for the air ambulance services; I am honoured to present the cheque to such a fantastic charity. The idea that this money will contribute to saving lives is outstanding! The air ambulance already offers an exceptional service, but if we can help them reduce risk even further then we have done a good thing!”
