Raising money for the UK Sepsis Trust in memory of my Dad ❤️

Donation protected
In 2018, my dad who was 67 years old suddenly became ill and unfortunately his GP missed all of the warning signs of his symptoms. He was told to go home and rest. Less than a week later he passed away from Sepsis. If he had received treatment straight away, then he would still be here today. Sepsis is known as the silent killer and if it isn't diagnosed or treated promptly, it can cause death in as little as 12 hours!

Sepsis kills more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer combined , however there are millions of people that aren't aware of this awful life threatening condition.

For the past few years, I've been wanting to take part in a challenge to raise money for the UK Sepsis Trust in memory of my dad. I wanted to do something completely out of my comfort zone and decided on a skydive. However, after a discussion with my doctor, he strongly recommended not to, as I have metal rods in my back due to curvature of my spine. After researching other events, I've decided to take part in a Wing Walk challenge at Gloucestershire Airfield next April. This involves standing on the wing of a moving biplane in flight, performing acrobatic maneuvers like dives and turns at speeds of up to 130mph.

I aim to raise £1,000 in my dad's memory. Your donations will support the Sepsis Trust in their vital work. Your generosity will mean the world to me, our family, and all those fighting this silent killer.

Please consider donating to my fundraising campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact.

Thank you for your support and for helping me keep my dad's spirit alive ❤️
