The UK Sepsis Trust is so close to my heart after losing my dad on 28th July 2022 to Sepsis, following emergency surgery for Bowel Cancer (which we didn't know he had). Last year, we raised almost £3000 for this brilliant charity and I want to keep raising awareness of the signs and symptoms to try and prevent other families going through loss.

I’m fundraising through many channels - Great North Run, Easter 50 Ultra Challenge, London Winter Marathon Walk and many more.

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.
