## Resource

Sam Kirby, 31, is climbing Helvellyn to raise £5,000 for the Great North Air Ambulance Service—the team that saved his life after a devastating 2024 car crash left him with a brain injury and broken bones. Once an avid climber, he’s now using walking poles and even joking he’ll let fire crew carry him down if needed. His climb isn’t just about conquering a mountain—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the emergency responders who gave him a second chance, and a powerful reminder that resilience can rise from the ashes of tragedy.
