I have decided to fundraise for the UK Sepsis Trust so that I can raise awareness and hopefully contribute to research and knowledge that will lead to an effective medicine to cure Sepsis.

I have a wonderful but very ill best friend who has successfully battled Sepsis several times, and a friend who passed away after fighting Sepsis but contracted a virus soon after. I often read about people dying from Sepsis and its complications, and I hope that by fundraising I can prevent at least one death from Sepsis, or allow someone to recognise the symptoms of Sepsis before it's too late.

Over the year I hope to hold several events to raise money and awareness, such as a pub quiz, a sponsored walk, and many other ideas! 

I appreciate any support you may be able to give me over this year, and together I hope we can make a real difference to Sepsis research, prevention and treatment!

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.
