She's running the full 26.2 miles to spotlight this hidden danger that claims too many lives unnoticed.

He poured everything into being a proud dead, and Laura wants folks to know, sepsis hits hard and fast, often without warning. Since his death, she's connected with other families struck by the same illness, realizing just how widespread and underdiagnosed the truly is. Her son Miles is all in too, whipping up a banner and buzzing with pry for Mom's big push. Laura always dreamed of tackling this bucket-less race before hitting 50, even joking about it with Gareth back in the day. She snacked her spot, and now it's go time, turning personal grief into a call for better awareness.

As she crosses that finish line, expect a wave of emotions, but she'll carry Gareth's pride with her, knowing this run keeps his spirit alive and pushes for real change.
