I'm stepping up for ICU

Every year, more than 200,000 people are admitted to intensive care units. Behind every one of those numbers is a person, a family, and a story that has been changed forever.

This October, I’m taking on the StepUp4ICU challenge, walking or running 200,000 steps to recognise every one of those patients, and the incredible ICU teams who care for them when it matters most.

Australia and New Zealand have some of the best ICU survival rates in the world. That’s no accident. It’s the result of ongoing investment in research, education, and training. But there is always more to be done to improve outcomes and support recovery after critical illness.

By supporting my challenge, you’re helping fund life-saving research and education. 100% of the funds raised through StepUp4ICU go towards advancing critical care and supporting the next generation of intensive care leaders.

This challenge is more than just steps, it’s about recognising lives, supporting families, and backing the people who stand on the frontlines of critical care every day.

I can’t do this alone. Will you help me reach my goal?

Whether you step up alongside me or support with a donation, your generosity will make a real difference to patients, families, and ICU teams.

Together, we can Step Up for ICU.
