The story behind the sycamore seed
Generations of children have refered to the seeds as ‘helicopters’ as it is a fantastic description of the seeds as they fly, twist and drift in the wind. At the Children's Air Ambulance we are proud to wear the iconic sycamore seed to remember and celebrate the life of a loved one.
The Children's Air Ambulance
We fly critically ill children across the UK to the specialist care they need. We know that the longer a sick child is out of hospital, the greater the risk. Our helicopter not only flies fast, but also serves as a flying intensive care unit for children. We can deliver children to safety approximately four times faster than transport by road. When every second counts this can be a matter of life and death.
We know that every day in the UK, there are two children who need our help. But right now we can only reach one in every three children who need us. We need your help to reach them all.
