A Swindon man has set his sights on a hair-raising fundraising stunt after he was taken aback when he witnessed the work of an air ambulance crew.

Brandon Sajoe will take on a wing walk next month, travelling at 150mph, 3,000 feet above the ground.

He was inspired after he saw the Wiltshire Air Ambulance travelling low over his home last June, just before it landed at Blunsdon Recreation Ground.

“I am a thrill seeker but this is a brand new challenge which I think will be quite exciting,” he said.

“It has always been on the bucket list to do this so I am not nervous at all and I do not mind heights.

“Later this year I would like to do a parachute jump for the same charity and I just want to keep raising funds.”

The 47-year-old is aiming to raise £1,000 for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance and has set up a JustGiving page which currently has surpassed £800.

He explained that the air ambulance’s speedy response to the person suffering a cardiac arrest at the football field inspired him.

“I am quite ecstatic and humbled by how much has been raised so far as it is so nice to see the support from the community for the cause,” said Brandon.

“We spoke to the pilot on the day and he was very nice and explained that they were funded by a charity and that is when I decided to do something.

“It is a great cause which affects people in the Wiltshire area and the money will go towards helicopter maintenance and fuel to keep it flying.”

Brandon is no stranger to fundraising but it has been a decade since his last big event.

He and six others partook in a sponsored motorbike ride from John o’ Groats to Land’s End for Catherine House Hospice in Banbury

“It was pretty challenging taking five days but it was awesome and we raised around £2,500,” he said.

“I was just waiting for the right cause and I believe I have found it with Wiltshire Air Ambulance.”

Brandon will partake in the wing walk on Thursday, July 6, at an original World War One airfield in Cirencester hosted by AeroSuperBatics.
