“Recovering from major trauma ”

on 18 May 2025

Take part in Manchester's iconic event and challenge yourself to complete 10K or a Half Marathon. As you run through the streets of Manchester you will be fuelled by the atmosphere and crowds cheering you on every step of the way.

Story

Imagine being told you might never walk again. At my lowest moment, facing life-threatening injuries, those words echoed endlessly. But deep within, a spark of defiance ignited: *I would walk again.* This is not just my story—it’s a testament to the extraordinary care that made the impossible possible.

The Miracle of Major trauma enhanced rehabilitation service

I became one of many trauma victims left shattered in body and spirit. Major trauma enhanced rehabilitation service was my lifeline. Created to heal invisible and physical wounds, their team didn’t just treat me—they *fought* for me. They spent hours rebuilding my strength, my hope, and my belief that life could still be lived fully. Without their relentless dedication, I’d still be clinging to crutches, not training for a half-marathon.

A Program Worth Saving

Today, the rehabilitation services funding is running out. This breaks my heart—not just for myself, but for every person who deserves this same chance. Standard care would have left me stranded. There holistic approach—blending cutting-edge physiotherapy, mental health support, and pure human compassion—is why I’m alive, walking, and now *running*. This program shouldn’t end with Manchester’s major trauma victims. It should be a beacon of hope, expanded nationwide through the NHS.

Why I Run on May 18th

On May 18th, I’ll line up for the Manchester Half Marathon—a race symbolic of every hurdle I’ve overcome. Each stride will scream, *“This is what the Major trauma enhanced rehabilitation service makes possible!”* But I’m not running just for me. I run for the next trauma survivor who deserves more than “standard” care. For the mother, the child, the friend who might one day need a miracle.
