Natalie, who studied at Bennett Memorial Diocesan School, said: “The conditions for my first two events have been challenging and mentally testing but I’m determined to continue with the remaining challenges.

“My mindset has always been that if I commit to do something I will see it through and giving up is not an option. I may not be the quickest person out there but at least I’m giving it a go.”

Natalie has completed two out of the six challenges

Natalie, of Ravenswood Avenue, works for Sundridge-based housing developer Ward Homes who have chosen the air ambulance as its Charity of the Year.

She has so far raised £375 for the charity helicopter which relies almost entirely on donations, and can be sponsored atwww.justgiving.com/Nataliesparrow
