Ben and his wife have given up life in Lincolnshire to care for cheetahs in South Africa
A Lincolnshire pilot will leave his career with the life-saving charity Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance to embark on a new adventure with his wife of caring for cheetahs in South Africa.
He joined the LNAA crew in 2021 and has flown over 170 life-saving missions, including one on Christmas Eve 2022 which he will never forget.Ben said: “Our team was activated to attend a cardiac arrest near Grantham. We were the first medical resource to arrive and after treating the patient, we flew him to Lincoln County Hospital.
On his new adventure, Ben said: “My wife has been given an opportunity to do some conservation-based field research in South Africa working with cheetahs. We met on a similar project, five years ago, and having worked with these beautiful cats before, it was probably only a matter of time before Africa called one of us again.
