Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

Last Christmas, my parents were staying with family as they had done for many years. Unfortunately, over the New Year, my Mum was rushed into the Critical Care Ward at Wrexham Maelor Hospital with Sepsis. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff, she passed away about a week later.

This year, I am running the Great South Run in dedication and memory of my Mum and supporting The UK Sepsis Trust.

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.
