Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Maddie Rose Thompson was a caring, fun loving, 10 year old, who loved minions & her scooter, she had achieved a black belt in choi kwang do , was a good swimmer, was learning to rock climb and was a creative artist.

My daughter Maddie woke up on 21st October 2014 as she did most school mornings, just a normal day, no different to any other....she went to school and attended after school tag rugby at her primary school. When Maddie came in from school she was eating her favourite dinner,  and complained of a headache and appeared very hot, nurofean  was given and Maddie insisted on going to cubs, however within 10 minutes she was back home as felt too unwell to carry on......Maddie was shivering and crying and lay down to go to sleep. Over the next 8 hours Maddie suffered from violent sickness & diaoreah, until the early hours of 22nd October she suddenly stopped breathing and had a cardiac arrest, CPR was given to Maddie until the paramedics arrived, which was thankfully within minutes. Maddie was taken to hospital and within hours was in intensive care fighting for her life. Maddie never regained consciousness and sadly at 9.35 on Thursday 23rd October Maddies life support machine was turned off. 

The coroner confirmed the reason was an overwhelming viral sepsis of unknown origin, maybe if we had known some of the signs of sepsis we could have acted sooner and maybe Maddie would still be here today.......
