A Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance crew airlifted Dave Roberts to hospital after a road accident.
A woman is to walk 50km in a day in aid of the air ambulance that helped save her husband's life.
Now, on 2 September, his wife Karen will walk from Musgrove Park Hospital's helipad, along the entire Bridgwater and Taunton Canal and back in aid of the charity.Inspired by her husband's progress since the crash that "nearly took his life", Ms Roberts told BBC Radio Somerset about her experience receiving the phone call "you just don't want to receive".
"He needed that urgent assessment to make him safe and the air ambulance were there to do that with him."Dave sustained many broken bones in the crash and underwent complex surgery to reconstruct his shattered pelvis. "I don't listen to anything. I just have my own thoughts. I listen to the rain if its falling on my mac or you just hear the birds. It's just beautiful out there."
