Thanks for the pics and gallery iceflower

I love that St John Ambulance are getting back to their roots with the cycle response unit.

The yachtsman is absolutely inspirational, and it looks like PA is having quite an in depth chat with him.

I don't think she'd be allowed to go due to safety concerns but I am sure that she is involved in raising funds to assist these children and if the situation actually does settle down she will be there doing her best to help and getting her hands dirty as she has done in the past.

That would be cool to see as she is a real mover and a shaker. She makes a difference.
