Molly, who is a professional dancer for Park Dean Resorts, ran in aid of the unit as a thanks for the care her mother, Kate Preston, received there.
Molly said: “The event happened in Swansea on Sunday June 7th 2026. This was my first ever running challenge, I completed the half marathon in 2 hours and 8 minutes.
“This was my way of thanking all the staff at Glangwili ICU for caring for my mum after she nearly lost her life to sepsis and organ failure.
“The run was challenging but I had lots of support from family and friends.
“I would like to thank everybody at Glangwili ICU: the doctors, nurses and all other staff involved in making mum’s stay in hospital comfortable.”
Claire Rumble, Fundraising Officer, said: “Well done Molly, what a fantastic achievement. You should be very proud of yourself. Thank you for using your time to raise funds for such a worthy cause.
“The generous charitable donations we receive don’t replace NHS funding. Instead, they are used to provide items and activities above and beyond core NHS expenditure, such as more welcoming surroundings for patients, families and staff, and the latest equipment.”
