The motivation behind Arrive Alive’s lifesaving work was Ellie, the daughter of Debbie Roscoe. Ellie contracted a life threatening case of measles, upon hospitalisation she developed various complications.
During the illness, her Mother contacted NHS 111 for advice, and was quoted a wait of two to four hours for an ambulance. The wait was due to a GP suspecting that Ellie had just an ordinary virus.
The only registered charity in the UK solely dedicated to providing emergency medical response vehicles.
Each vehicle can arrive within those vital seconds/minutes before a road or air ambulance to initiate lifesaving treatment.
Ellie and Debbie both know from first hand experience that those vital seconds can produce a different outcome when faced with a critical life threatening medical emergency. An Arrive Alive vehicle can arrive within those vital seconds/minutes prior to a road or air ambulance to initiate lifesaving medical treatment. Arrive Alive has been able to launch and fund three lifesaving vehicles within Birmingham, Solihull and the Black Country.
Ellies life threatening case of measles was featured on ITV News. See her brave interview on the below link.
