Emma Constable has a double reason to be grateful to Essex Air Ambulance after surviving a horrific accident. Without the Air Ambulance Emma would not have had two arms to hold her baby boys. Emma says, “When I had the accident, I didn’t think I would survive. Eight weeks later, I was walking down the aisle for my wedding”.
“We are over the moon to have had the twins and it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to hold Charlie and James. I couldn’t contemplate trying to look after twins if I had just one arm. In fact, I think I need an extra pair of arms now”.
