Story

Joe is a 42 year old guy living in London with his wife Jenny and kids Mason and Lola. Joe’s tried to live an interesting and adventurous life: he climbed Mont Blanc at 16 and was always found out on a Mountain bike or climbing as a kid, rather than playing football.

A few years ago his daughter Lola, 1 at the time, narrowly avoided death at the hands of Sepsis.  What’s that?  Never heard of it?  And it kills thousands upon thousands of people every year.  It’s particularly dangerous as it looks like flu, a fever, a ‘normal’ sickness, but it kills very very fast  

Joe is running the North Pole Marathon to raising money and awareness for the Sepsis Trust.

It’ll be damn hard - an echo of Lola’s fight against Sepsis.

Sepsis accounts for 48,000 deaths annually in the UK, that’s more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer put together. Sepsis is what happens when our immune system overreacts to an infection. Symptoms initially present as flu like but can rapidly deteriorate into a life threatening condition.
