Ride For Their Lives 14/6/23
Victoria Jackson, Senior Programme Manager – Projects and Evaluation at iHV, talks to Dr Heather Lamber and Dr Mark Hayden, who have taken action to clean up our air. They are part of Ride For Their Lives, an international collaboration of healthcare providers promoting clean air. The campaign started in 2021, when a group of paediatric patients wrote urgent messages about air pollution on ‘the blue bag’ that healthcare professionals took on bikes from London to Glasgow, to present to world leaders at COP26.
The premise of Ride For Their Lives is to cycle to different locations within the UK and the rest of the world, raising awareness of the impact of poor air quality, as well as energising and inspiring action on air pollution and the wider climate and nature crisis. The campaign is led by healthcare professionals and engages other healthcare professionals to use their platform to advocate for our patients, the planet and ourselves. The campaign aims to raise awareness and petition governments and policymakers to make changes that will improve health for all, especially children and babies whom this will affect the most.
