In 2011 on New Year's Day, Jason Watkins and Clara Francis tragically lost their two year old daughter, Maude, to Sepsis.

Although sepsis is more common than heart attacks and claims more lives than any cancer it is still not a widely known condition. This is the tragedy of Sepsis,  as if it is caught early it is treatable, and Maude and thousands of others would still be with us.

Sepsis accounts for 44,000 deaths in the UK every year. That's more than bowel cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer put together. This means that a 1 person dies from sepsis every 14 minutes.

By fundraising we hope to raise awareness of Sepsis, through innovation, research and the sharing of good practice. Sepsis needs to be recognised as a medical emergency and as a clinical priority for the NHS. We need to ensure that members of the public, patients and their relatives, and health professionals work together to discuss and act on Sepsis.
