Sepsis, that should be a swear word!

Before December 2016 I had never heard of Sepsis. In December 2016 Sepsis took the life of my Auntie Marjorie leaving her husband, two children and grandchildren without her positive influence in their lives. I hoped I would never hear the word Sepsis again but my hopes were dashed less than 2 months later when my best friend Emma was admitted into QMC and kept in intensive care for a week fighting against Sepsis, I couldn’t imagine loosing her, the thought destroyed me. Luckily she made a full recovery and continues to lead a happy life. Surely that’s enough of Sepsis for one decade right? No, unfortunately not. In March 2018 my friend Fran’s little baby boy Harrison was rushed into hospital at just 2 months old fighting for his life, fighting against Sepsis. Harrison had a long, death-defying battle but after almost a month he was free to go home to his mummy and daddy and Daisy dog. 

I had never ran before February 2018 and I’m far from an expert. At the moment of writing this I walk/run a 5K Parkrun on Saturdays and it takes me 37 minutes. 13 miles is going to be a hell of a challenge but my fear of failing is nothing in comparison to my determination to make a difference. Please dig deep.
