Five years ago I developed meningococcal sepsis and septic shock. I was very fortunate to survive. The episode left me with slow to heal and permanently damaged feet. It has taken this long to be able to wear proper walking boots, as opposed to lightweight trainers, again.

Fundraising is at the heart of the Trust's 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 our vital support work, Public Awareness, Educating Health Professionals & helping people adjust to life after sepsis through accessing our Support Group network. We also lobby government to support our cause and makes vital changes in areas such as the NHS.
