Story

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.

We are bringing the family business community together in a collective effort as a force for good, to get active which is good for us all personally, and to make a difference to a cause that is important to us personally.

Each and every member of the team is committed to walking, running or cycling the equivalent of 9,260 steps a day which by the time of our annual flagship conference in March 2025 we will have each achieved an incredible 1 million steps!

As Paul Andrews, Founder & CEO of Family Business United explains, "Each year we do something to make a difference and this year wanted it to be a challenge. A group of family business owners wanted to do something together and this lead to the creation of the Million Step Charity Challenge."

"The challenge gets me out and about, off my chair in the office and at the same time will make a difference too."

"We look forward to seeing the cumulative impact that this campaign has when we announce the results in March."

Every penny donated goes direct to the charity and will help to make a difference.
