Hey everyone,

As many of you already know, in September 2016 my dad had a cardiac arrest at his home. The East Anglia Air Ambulance brought the hospitalto my dad’s front door (quite literally) and helped transport him to the hospital, saving his life and giving him the best chance of recovery. If it weren’t for the amazing people at the EAAA , this story could have a very different ending –so I will be forever grateful.

To help make sure that the EAAA can continue saving lives, I’m running the London Marathon 2018 (*screams internally*). I am not “a runner”– never have been – but the amazing journey through recovery my dad has made this past year has inspired me to accomplish things that I never thought possible in myself, much like how dad has accomplished feats that even medical professionals deemed unlikely.

All donations are obviously welcome – no matter the size –and I hope some of you can come along on the day to cheer me on (or at least drink a pint with me afterwards), as I know I’ll need it!

Love, Savannah

Since our launch in 2000 we have attended over 20,000 lifesaving missions, touching the lives of many thousands of people. Read on to find out more about the East Anglian Air Ambulance.Our crew comprises specialist prehospital doctors and critical-care paramedics, operating out of two high-tech helicopters from 07:00 until 19:00 from our Norwich base and from 07:00 until 01:30 from our Cambridge base. We were the first air ambulance in the country to attend helicopter emergency medical incidents in the hours of darkness to unknown and unlit.
