On 25th June, my fit and healthy 35 year old husband, Rob, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at home in the early hours of the morning.

Luckily, East Midlands Ambulance service arrived at our house within minutes and took him to Kings Mill Hospital, where he was put into an induced coma and cared for by A&E staff, the Critical Care Team and then by the Cardiac Ward.

Rob underwent tests and was then transferred to the Acute Cardiac Unit at City Hospital. After further tests, Rob underwent surgery to fit him with an ICD on 22nd July.

And after a month in hospital, Rob finally came home to recover ♥️

I am running the Brighton Marathon in April 2025 to raise money for Sherwood Forest Hospitals Trust and Nottingham University Hospitals Charity. I am hoping to donate £2000 for each charity, £4000 in total.

This is the least I can do to say thank you to them all. From those came to my rescue in the first few minutes, who looked after our son in the early hours of that morning in A&E, cared for Rob over the many weeks in hospital and those who eventually fitted him with a device that will give him the confidence to live life to the fullest.

They have all played a part in not only saving my husband’s life but helping save our family.
