Just over a year ago I lost one of my longest friends Maria , this is my way of remembering her and raising awareness for Sepsis. 

Running is my escape , it's where my mind finds peace with life and although I know Maria would think I'm crazy running a marathon in her memory it is my way of working through my journey of grief. 

If you could spare any amount no matter how small I would be grateful.... it may spur me on to achieve something I never dreamed of doing ( still not sure how or why I decided to take part) it will be my only marathon- the training has been tough mentally and physically , I honestly can say I won't be doing it again. 

Thank you for supporting me and helping me keep Maria's memory alive. 

Fundraising is at the heart of our fight against sepsis. It raises awareness, and sparks the question: “What is sepsis? In this way, fundraising can help prevent thousands of deaths & unnecessary suffering through knowledge & awareness of the symptoms.It also funds our vital support work, Public Awareness, Educating Health Professionals & helping people adjust to life after sepsis through accessing our Support Group network. We also lobby government to support our cause and makes vital changes in areas such as the NHS.
