Incredible Efforts from Our HoverRunners
What a truly fantastic few weeks it has been for our amazing community of supporters.
We are absolutely delighted to celebrate our HoverRunners, who this year took on the Cambridge Half Marathon and, together, raised an incredible £12,000+ for HoverAid!
It was a brilliant day from start to finish — the sun shining, crowds cheering, and an atmosphere full of encouragement and determination. From the first wave of runners to the final finishers, every single person who took part showed such commitment, energy, and heart.
Whether running for a personal challenge, in memory of a loved one, or simply to support HoverAid’s work, each step taken has helped us continue delivering life-saving medical care to some of the most remote communities in Madagascar.
We couldn’t be prouder of every single one of you. Your dedication truly makes a difference.
Going the Extra Mile – and Then Some
A very special mention goes to Jim, who recently completed the Bristol Green Man Ultra on 7th March — an astonishing challenge of 46+ miles.
Yes… 46 miles!
Jim’s determination, resilience and, quite frankly, slightly “lunatic” commitment is nothing short of inspiring. Taking on an ultra marathon is no small feat, and to do so while fundraising for HoverAid makes it even more meaningful.
So far, Jim has raised over £300, and we are incredibly grateful for his support.
Stories like Jim’s remind us that fundraising doesn’t have to look one way — whether it’s a 5K, a half marathon, or an ultra endurance challenge, every effort counts. If you’ve ever thought about taking on a challenge, let this be your sign 💪

The Challenges Continue
We also want to say a huge thank you to Justin Cross (you will spot him in his yellow swim hat below!), who is currently taking on an incredible personal challenge.
Justin is fundraising for HoverAid while preparing for the St Neots Triathlon on 3rd May. He even chose to warm up by completing the Cambridge Boundary Run earlier this month!
His dedication and drive are amazing to see, and we’ll be cheering him on every step, stroke, and pedal of the way 🚴♂️🏊♂️🏃♂️
We’ll be sharing updates on Justin’s progress, so keep an eye out and do show your support if you can!
💚 Thank You
To every single person who has run, trained, donated, cheered, or supported — thank you.
Because of you, HoverAid can continue to save, sustain and enrich lives in communities with little to no access to healthcare.
If you’re feeling inspired, why not take on your own challenge this year? We’d love to have you as part of Team HoverAid.
