A STUDENT from The Queen’s College is running for St John Ambulance.

Oliver Venn, 21, said: “My cousin went through St John Ambulance training in South Africa. The training has empowered him to help other South Africans when they are sick or injured. I am very excited to fundraise for them.”

Oliver hopes to raise more than £1,500.

St John Ambulance county fundraiser Anne Byard said: “We’re so grateful to Oliver for going to such lengths to raise vital funds to help us equip more people with life-saving first aid skills.”
