Story

In February 2018, my beautiful mum was taken ill with what she was told was  a simple viral infection. A few days later she was in ICU fighting for her life, with flu, pneumonia and sepsis. After two days of fighting, we decided to switch off her life support. 

Due to sepsis, we lost an incredible, loving person and we will all miss her forever. 

Despite sepsis killing more people in the UK than bowel, prostate and breast cancer combined, it is often missed by doctors. We want to raise awareness for this condition and help prevent unnecessary deaths and the heartbreak that follows. 

Please sponsor us for our half marathon and help us meet our target so that we can make a difference! 

About the charity

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.
