In July 2019 my close friend, and Godfather to my three kids, died suddenly and unexpectedly. Pete was just 40yrs old and had contracted Sepsis. 

I'd heard of Sepsis before but really didn't have any idea about what it is, how dangerous it is, and how many people are impacted each year. Sepsis kills 52,000 people every year in the UK alone but can be treatable if diagnosed and treated early enough.  Therefore I am proud to be running this event in Pete's memory and to raise vital funds to hopefully prevent others having to lose someone they love in the future.

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.
