Hi everyone,

This year, I am taking on four runs to raise vital funds for the Irish Sepsis Foundation — a cause that is extremely close to my heart.

The funds raised will go towards:

Building support services for sepsis survivors and for families who have lost loved ones to sepsis

Creating educational resources for healthcare professionals and the public about sepsis and post sepsis syndrome

I’m a nurse, a sepsis survivor, and a proud board member of the Irish Sepsis Foundation. I’m also very involved in the ISF support groups and social media pages. From now to October, I am dedicated to raising as much awareness as possible, because I don’t want anyone to through what I went through.

I’ll be running to honour those we have lost to sepsis and those who are living with its lasting effects.

This time last year, my running journey had just begun as I had a hole in my heart closed - which was found when I was in ICU and ventilated due to sepsis. Now, I’m using that second chance to run for a cause that means everything to me.

The runs I’m taking part in are:

Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon
Fingal 10K
Dublin Half Marathon
Dublin Marathon

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us raise awareness, improve education, support survivors and families, and ultimately save lives.

Thank you so much for your support. Together, we can make a real difference.

With love,

Katelyn
