On 9th September 2018, I’m returning to Newcastle to take on the Great North Run Half Marathon with my dad. It’s going to be a big challenge, but it’s all in the name of a great cause. I’ll be raising money for the UK Sepsis Trust, in memory of my dear friend Sophie Greenall (lovingly known as “Sophie G”), who tragically lost her life to sepsis on 28th November 2008 at the age of 12. The UK Sepsis Trust’s goal is to end preventable deaths from sepsis by providing earlier diagnosis and treatment across the UK, which would save at least 14,000 lives a year. My dad and I are aiming to raise money to support the charity’s work and mark the 10th anniversary of Sophie’s death later this year – any donations however small would be hugely appreciated
