Henry's Story - How the North West Air Ambulance Charity saved Henry's life

Nine days before his second birthday, while walking with his mum and auntie, Henry was hit by a car after falling into the road.
Rob, Henry’s Dad, rushed to the scene: “My heart just sank, and I just thought, I’ve lost him.” He suffered multiple facial and skull fractures, chest and lung injuries, internal bleeding, and a lacerated spleen. Due to the seriousness of Henry’s injuries North West Air Ambulance Charity was dispatched.
The doctor and critical care paramedic on board performed enhanced pre-hospital care. They provided an emergency anaesthetic, a blood transfusion and minor chest surgery. Because of these interventions, Henry could be taken to the nearest children’s major trauma centre.

Sad story. It's acceptable to pay millions of pounds for a soccer player, actor, musician for entertainment yet we have to beg for donations to save lives. What a modern and civilised time we live in.

This is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Awful to think what would have happened if the North West Air Ambulance hadn't been there
