A community in Co Tyrone raised over £10,500 for the Air Ambulance NI after it helped a local bricklayer who fell 20 feet from a building. Peter Quinn was seriously injured in the fall but made a full recovery thanks to the rapid response of the Air Ambulance.
A Co Tyrone community has donated thousands to the Air Ambulance after it helped a local bricklayer who was injured after falling 20 feet from the second floor of a building.
However, Peter has no recollection of the trip and can only remember brief moments of him being placed on a stretcher. Thankfully, Peter did not sustain any permanent damage to his spinal cord and with the support of his family, friends, and the community, he made steady progress and Peter is now back on his feet and has returned to work.
Damien McAnespie, Fundraising Manager for Air Ambulance NI, said, “The day of Peter’s accident was the seventh anniversary of the service and it is a reminder how vital the air ambulance is to everyone and how a quick response, matched with clinical care interventions carried out on the scene, can make a real difference.”
