Story

I’m back! Having run the London Landmarks Half Marathon for the UK Sepsis Trust last year, I caught the bug.

I am fundraising in memory of my sister Beth, who died tragically aged 25 on 20th August 2022 from septic shock.

Having spent the last 2 days of her life with her, I was made aware of how suddenly and unexpectedly sepsis can take over and turn into septic shock. Prior to this, I had absolutely no idea how many lives sepsis took and how difficult it can be to spot. This is why I want to raise awareness and money, in the hope to prevent tragedies like this from happening in the future, as well as to ensure that other families affected have access to the support they need.

I hope to do her proud, again.
