Sam's half-marathon - PHA UK

In my role, I’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible clinicians who dedicate themselves to caring for patients with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). As I continue to expand my knowledge about this complex condition and the life-changing therapies that support it, I’ve been truly inspired by the dedication and compassion within this community. Patient care is at the heart of everything they do, and I feel honoured to even be a very small part of it.

To help raise awareness of PH and the essential treatments some patients rely on, I’ve decided to take on a challenge - I’ll be running the Sheffield Half-marathon on behalf of the PHA UK while carrying the Avoset, an infusion device designed to support patients who require IV therapy. To make it even more interesting, I’ll be monitoring the device using Eitan Insights, putting it to the test as it endures two hours of continuous movement while infusing. The date in which this event takes place is the 23rd March 2025. 

A little background in relation to Pulmonary Hypertension and the PHA UK:

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is rare, serious and misunderstood. It has a huge impact on people’s lives, and the PHA UK is dedicated to reducing that burden through support, advice, information and advocacy. They raise awareness and fund research to provide better treatments, with the hope of one day finding a cure for this devastating disease.

The PHA UK receives no government funding, so every penny donated plays a vital role in helping them support people to live better lives with PH.
