Three generations of the Blackiston family have helped raise funds for the UK's East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA). Harry Blackiston and fellow pupils at Gresham School marketed and sold soups, his father, Norfolk chef Galton Blackiston, has been heavily involved with the launch of EAAA's recently launched dessert cookbook, Pie in the Sky, and his 82-year-old father Bill has undertaken two skydives to raise funds.

The EAAA, which operates a 365 day life-saving service across Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, says it costs £3.5 million per year to keep its two air ambulances flying.
