Mum passed away on 4th March, almost a month to the day after her 85th birthday. While her health had deteriorated over the last couple of years, the official cause of her death was sepsis from an unknown source.

With this in mind, the decision was taken to raise money for the Sepsis Trust in memory of Mum.

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.

Mum had made the recent decision not to have a funeral and so donations to this worthy cause in lieu of flowers would be a fitting tribute.
