Farmer's life saved for second time by air ambulance

A Cumbrian farmer is meeting the Pride of Cumbria Air Ambulance team to say thank you after they saved his life for a second time.

Jonathan Thwaites from Greenholme near Penrith fell 20 feet from a barn roof he was fixing in October. He had to be flown to the Royal Preston Hospital for treatment.

Seven years ago, the unlucky farmer came of a motorbike while herding sheep and suffered severe injuries which resulted in him being air lifted to hospital.

Now recovering well from his most recent injuries, Jonathan says he can't thank the air ambulance team enough and wants to highlight the importance of supporting the charity that is entirely funded by public donations.
