Hamster's page passes £150,000

The Richard Hammond fundraising page has now reached £162,289 in online donations. This has been an amazing effort, with mass media coverage helping drive awareness of the page.

Alex Goss, the page creator is now hoping to raise £500,000 to purchase a second helicopter for the Yorshire Air Ambulance, which will be named after the popular Top Gear presenter.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is just one of many air ambulance / rescue charities providing an essential service across the UK. People can support their local air ambulance charity by searching for them here.

Thanks again to everyone who has donated to this page and has emailed their comments into Justgiving.
