Story
Running the Hampton Court Half Marathon for ICUsteps – Feb 15, 2026
Every day in ICU, I witness moments that change lives forever—moments of fear, courage, heartbreak, and hope. I’ve held hands that were fighting to stay, comforted families in their darkest hours, and watched survivors take their first fragile steps toward life again.
But what many don’t see is what comes after the ICU.
The nightmares.
The weakness.
The memory loss.
The anxiety.
The feeling of being lost in a world that kept moving without you.
Recovery doesn’t end when the machines are switched off.
For many, it’s only just beginning—and it’s a journey no one should face alone.
That’s why on February 15, 2026, I’ll be running the Hampton Court Half Marathon to raise money for ICUsteps, a charity giving survivors and families the tools, support, and understanding they desperately need.
I’m running for every patient whose story stayed with me.
For every family who whispered, “Please don’t give up.”
For every survivor finding their way back to themselves.
And for those who didn’t make it home.
Your donation—no matter the size—helps someone rebuild their life after ICU.
It brings comfort, compassion, and hope where it’s needed most.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting this cause that means everything to me. 💙
