A University of Sunderland lecturer who suffered life-threatening injuries in a road traffic accident as a child says she is “deeply moved” a group of her students are raising money for the charity which helped save her life.
“The NWAA really are lifesavers and I intend to raise awareness of the amazing work they do, and money for them, for the rest of my life.”
Alice, 27, who is originally from Lancashire but now lives in Sunderland, said: “I am deeply moved that a group of my students want to raise money for this charity, and I will be cheering them on as they run round our wonderful city.
“As the NWAA receives no funding from the government or NHS, they are completely reliant on public donations. Because of their fundraising, these students are helping to save lives long before they qualify as doctors.”
