00:00Last Friday was a normal Friday. Then the doorbell went and in the space of about ten

00:16minutes we went from a very normal Friday evening arguing over what we were going to

00:21have for dinner to winning a property over five million pounds. Such a normal day turns

00:27into such an incredible life-changing experience. Our home could fit into this living room.

00:35We scrimped and scraped for years to buy our first home and it turns out that all you need

00:41is a £20 subscription and a bit of luck. It's the most incredible space. The huge windows,

00:48the master bedroom. The ensuite, his and her sinks. Downstairs the spa area, the gym. It's

00:54just one of the most spectacular places. This is just such a beautiful part of London and

01:01we're a part of it now. £250,000. £250,000. Just knowing that we can literally live here

01:09for what, like maybe ten years or more and not have to worry about anything. It's the

01:14freedom of choice. We can choose to live here, we can choose to rent it out, we can choose

01:19to sell it. We've been given the opportunity to make that choice and that is a privilege

01:24in itself. I honestly cannot believe it. We knew that when we launched this partnership

01:33with Amaze there was potential for something special but £4 million is truly transformational

01:38for us. For the last three years we've been fundraising to replace our helicopter fleet.

01:43This £4 million means we can now buy the two new helicopters and bring them into service

01:48and keep them flying for many years to come. When patients are unable to get to hospital

01:53in time London's Air Ambulance delivers world class emergency care to the roadside, performing

02:00life saving interventions wherever they are needed. Without them I wouldn't be standing

02:05here today. This London house draw is Amaze's biggest ever raise. This means the Amaze community

02:12has now raised over £51 million for good causes in the UK. Not only do I get to live

02:20in this incredible house but I get to do it with the love of my life.
