Story

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to come and take a look at the reason why me and my amazing friend Christine who I work with is supporting and choosing to run with me in the London Half Marathon on 07.04.2024. 

We wanted to do this in memory of my dad David Thomas and to help raise funds for the research and cures into the Uk Sepsis Trust, which affects far to many of us.

Many of you will know I recently lost my dad on February the 15th 2023. That day mine & our whole family's life changed. He was the most amazing dad who was also an incredible husband, brother, Uncle & Grandad who we sadly lost to Sepsis. We miss you more and more everyday and I would like to celebrate his life while also making him proud of me  with something positive that will help in the research into this awful disease.

We would be grateful of any contribution you are willing to make, regardless of how large or small, in memory of my dad and all of our loved ones we have lost to this awful disease ❤️

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.
