Story
In April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon to raise funds for two causes: The UK Sepsis Trust and Innovation for Agriculture.
My sponsor charity is Innovation for Agriculture. All funds raised up to £500 will go directly to supporting their vital work. Any amount raised above £500 will be shared between Innovation for Agriculture and The UK Sepsis Trust, helping both organisations continue their important missions.
If you've heard of 'Martha's Rule', then you have heard of Martha, who died in 2021 at the age of 13. Martha was my cousin, and she died after developing sepsis in hospital, where she had been admitted with a pancreatic injury after falling off her bike.
In the UK, more people lose their lives to a sepsis-related illness every year than breast, bowel, and prostate cancer combined. Yet with early diagnosis it is easily treatable.
This is why I am running the London Marathon to raise money for the UK Sepsis Trust - donations will support their mission to raise awareness of sepsis among the public and health care professionals.
Training for a marathon is a huge commitment, but it’s nothing compared to the impact these charities make every single day. Your support — whether big or small — will genuinely make a difference.
Thank you so much for helping me turn every mile into meaningful impact ❤️
About the Charities
Innovation for Agriculture is dedicated to supporting farmers and rural businesses through research-led innovation and knowledge exchange. They work to improve productivity, sustainability, and resilience across the agricultural sector. By translating research into practical solutions, they help farmers adapt to changing climates, economic pressures, and environmental challenges. Supporting this charity means investing in the future of sustainable British farming.
The UK Sepsis Trust works to save lives by raising awareness of sepsis and improving early diagnosis and treatment. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can affect anyone, and rapid recognition is critical. The charity provides education for healthcare professionals, supports survivors and bereaved families, and campaigns for systemic improvements in care. Their work ensures more people recognise the signs of sepsis and get life-saving treatment sooner.
