A father is undertaking an arduous 250-mile journey across Scotland to raise tens of thousands of pounds for the air ambulance charity that saved his daughter’s life.
Keira Hanratty suffered two broken arms and a fractured spine after a devastating head-on crash while she was on holiday with a friend back in June 2017. Her father Tom, says that the accident took place near Roybridge and that healthcare professionals had described the then 11-year-olds injuries as life-threatening.
The young girl was rushed by Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance to Raigmore Hospital but after an hour she was then taken to Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Children where she underwent surgery and recovered for three weeks. Tom, who works as an operations manager, is therefore trying to raise £35,000 for the charity that airlifted his daughter to safety.
