Story

Back in 2019, after my first pregnancy loss and keyhole surgery, I was ready to be discharged the next morning. However I was in severe pain all night and was struggling to pee. We all believed it was part of my recovery from surgery until I went for a walk and collapsed. A few days later I woke up from a coma and had a prolonged stay in ITU on the ventilator. I had sepsis. Thanks to the NHS I survived and thanks to the UKSEPSIS Trust I recovered. 

My family & I never heard of sepsis before, and as a community champion who speaks to members of the community on a regular basis- there are too many who also don’t know what sepsis is and how it is responsible for almost 48,000 deaths a year in the UK. 

Fundraising is at the heart of our fight against sepsis. It raises awareness, and sparks the question: What is sepsis? 

In this way, fundraising can help prevent thousands of deaths & unnecessary suffering through knowledge & awareness of the symptoms.It also funds vital support work, Public Awareness, Educating Health Professionals & helping people adjust to life after sepsis.

I understand the cost of living crisis and it’s impact on people, but if you are able to spare even a small amount it can make a huge impact and help the UKSEPSIS Trust do their work in raising awareness & thus save lives.

Thank you

Sepsis accounts for 48,000 deaths annually in the UK, that’s more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer put together. Sepsis is what happens when our immune system overreacts to an infection. Symptoms initially present as flu like but can rapidly deteriorate into a life threatening condition.
