My brother went into hospital in 2020 for a straight forward operation which meant that he was in and out within 24 hours.  The following day his health deteriorated rapidly, the first signs, he became cold with uncontrollable shaking, subsequently collapsing.  Fortunately an ambulance was only five minutes away, the paramedics spent 20 minutes stabilising him before he could leave the farm to return to hospital.  This was our introduction to Sepsis.

Life is so fragile and can be taken away without any warning.  This infection is deadly, we were lucky and my brother has recovered, however it always leaves its mark.  Be aware, act quickly, and always ask the question.  

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 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.
