Alice raises £1,600 for Magpas in Cambridge Half Marathon

Four years after the charity saved Alice's life, the pair joined almost 15,000 other runners on March 5 to take on the 13.1 miles route and try and raise as much as they could for Magpas.

Alice's mum, siblings, grandparents and friends were all in the crowd cheering her on as she completed the gruelling course and smashed her fundraising target of £400.

"Today (March 5) was an amazing experience and one that I'll never forget," said Alice.

"The atmosphere was incredible, and support was overwhelming.

"Most importantly, we raised more than £1,600 for Magpas Air Ambulance to help them continue their lifesaving work."

Back in 2019, aged 18, everything changed for Alice when she suffered a respiratory arrest at home one night.

Thanks to Magpas' expert help, they recognised something was seriously wrong, stabilised her condition, took her to hospital for emergency surgery and quite possibly saved her life.

Alice has so far raised £1,655 to help Magpas continue offering 24/7 lifesaving support, and if you wish to donate, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/alice-lunn2.
