As you may or may not know, I suffered from Sepsis in October 2017 after an routine operation. I became very ill, very fast and I was lucky enough that the medical staff at Harrogate District Hospital acted quickly. I didn't know that I had Sepsis, I just knew my body was battling something life threatening. But I won the biggest battle I have had to face. Life hasn't been the same since and what it has given me is determination.
I would like to raise awareness of Sepsis.
I would like to think that this could help save someone's life.
I would like to give something back as I know I'm fortunate to be here.
JUST ASK "Could it be Sepsis"
I have always wanted to run the Great North Run and wanted to do it when I was 40! But it's taken two years to gain the physical strength and ability to run a half marathon to do it now. Please support me to give me the encourage to put one front in front of the other.
I am running because I can!
