Claire's marathon for UK Sepsis Trust

Claire Lynch is raising money for UK Sepsis Trust
In memory of Peter Lynch

Tissington Marathon · 27 April 2025

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.

Story

Training for a marathon is one of the hardest things I've ever done, so it felt worth taking the opportunity to raise some money for UK Sepsis Trust, and hopefully some awareness!

I lost my Dad to Sepsis in 2018 and if it had been spotted earlier, we may have had more time with him.

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.

Even the smallest donation is hugely appreciated xx
