Hi All! Thank you for visiting my page.

I’ll be running a 10k in Hyde Park on 31st August 2019 and the Brighton Half marathon on 23rd February 2020 to raise money for Sepsis UK.

As you may or may not know, my wonderful  friend/other half, Nadia, fell very unwell whilst she was travelling in Australia. Sepsis left her in a very bad way. She was in a coma for a week, but in typical Nads style, she defied the odds and is almost back to her usual fit and healthy state.

Nads’  induced coma was as a result of septic shock caused by a severe Pneumonia which consequently spread into her blood stream, causing the collapsing of her right lung (and bladder). After 3 weeks in hospital and ongoing treatment Nads is almost back to her normal self. The quick detection and treatment by the doctors and nurses in Proserpine and Mackay hospital in Australia meant that she is still here today! It’s so important to keep spreading sepsis awareness.

The whole experience really makes you think. There was no chance that I’d ever get over not being able to force jäger bombs down Nads’ throat on a regular basis. So if raising any money which would help anybody else with Sepsis make a full recovery, I’d be more than happy.

Sepsis is a serious condition resulting from the presence of harmful microorganisms in the blood or other tissues and the body’s response to their presence, potentially leading to the malfunctioning of various organs, shock, and death.

Fundraising is at the heart of Sepsis UK’s 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.
