For Katy Rogers, running a marathon wasn’t just about personal achievement—it was about honouring her sister Emma and raising awareness for those living with immunodeficiency.
Emma was diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) at 16 after years of recurrent infections and serious illness.
Katy has witnessed firsthand the impact of CVID on her sister’s life, from the struggles of early diagnosis to the resilience she shows every day. She decided to take on the Brighton Marathon to support our much-needed work to help people just like her sister.
Katy pushed through 26.2 miles in under two hours and raised over £2,000 to support our work.
From all of us at Immunodeficiency UK, thank you, Katy, for your dedication and for highlighting this vital cause.
Would you like to support our work too? Why not fundraise for us and contribute to Immunodeficiency UK’s vital work supporting individuals and families affected by immunodeficiency?
