Cornwall Fundraiser Gemma Gears Up for 100th Medal with Marathon Challenge for Air Ambulance

Bodmin’s Gemma Wotherspoon plans bingo nights ahead of Brighton and Cornish marathons

Gemma Wotherspoon, from Bodmin, has already raised £2,000 for Cornwall Air Ambulance – and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Fresh from completing the London Landmarks Half Marathon on her 41st birthday earlier this month – her 20th half marathon – Gemma is now training for two full marathons: the Brighton Marathon next April and her first-ever full marathon in Cornwall this November.

“I’m currently on 95 medals,” Gemma said. “I’ll be hitting my 100th medal later this year and I’m so proud to be doing it while supporting such an important cause.”

To help raise even more, she’s organising several Prize Bingo events in Bodmin to benefit Cornwall Air Ambulance:

🔸 Saturday 19th April 2025 – Event link here
🔸 Saturday 31st May 2025 – Event link here
🔸 Thursday 5th June 2025 – Event link here

She’ll also be hosting a donation collection at Asda Bodmin, where locals can stop by to show their support.

Gemma’s hoping to raise another £1,000 from the Brighton Marathon alone, with all funds helping Cornwall Air Ambulance continue its life-saving missions.
