Especially his granddaughter. When he heard one of the students had fallen from some rocks and needed help from the air ambulance, he was worried.<\/p>\n<p>When the rest of the class returned to the bus without Emily, his worst fears were realised. Emily had broken her hip and required urgent pain relief and advanced medical care. Your local air ambulance was called and just 13 minutes later our critical care crew were kneeling beside her. She was given advanced pain relief before being splinted and prepared for transfer to the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Due to her location, Emily was transferred out of the woods in a 4&#215;4 to our waiting helicopter where she was then flown to Royal Derby Hospital. She underwent urgent hip surgery and, after five days, was discharged with a hip spica plaster, needing a zimmer frame and crutches during her recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Grateful for the life-saving intervention, Emily and her friends have been raising funds for the local air ambulance service. Your donations make such rescues possible, ensuring help reaches those in remote locations. Thank you for your continued support.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12
