A mum, whose three daughters were rescued by a lifeboat crew, has run the London Marathon for the charity that saved them.
Twins Daisy and Molly Cole and their older sister Zoe were rescued by volunteers from Hunstanton RNLI, after they were cut off by the tide at Brancaster in 2013.
The trio were plucked from the sea and returned safely to shore by the crew.
Their mother, Stacey O'Donnell, a QEH Healthcare assistant from Wisbech, has since run her first-ever TCS London Marathon for the charity on Sunday, April 21 and finished in six hours, 19 minutes and 54 seconds.
“It was easy to start with, with all the adrenaline and the support from the crowd,” she said.
”It was harder from mile 24 but you just have to do it, you just have to pull everything together.
”The support was amazing, the crowds, my family especially, they were all there.”
Stacey returned to Hunstanton with a cheque for more than £3,500 the following Sunday.
Station visits officer Kate Craven thanked the mum for her efforts, saying the work of the crew and more than 200 like them would not be possible without people like her.
