For the month of February, me, Archie and Barney (my two dogs) will be taking on the dog walking challenge and doing a minimum of 60 miles throughout the month.

As some of you may know, on the 4th July 2016 we tragically lost my sister, Susan, to sepsis. Susan’s death happened very suddenly and was heartbreaking for the whole family. I have decided to take on this challenge and raise funds for a very worthy cause that will prevent families having to go through what we went through and help raise awareness for the silent killer.

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.
