Cycle for Sepsis · 6 September 2015

Sepsis accounts for 48,000 deaths annually in the UK, that’s more than breast, bowel and prostate cancer put together. Sepsis is what happens when our immune system overreacts to an infection. Symptoms initially present as flu like but can rapidly deteriorate into a life threatening condition.

Story

Thank you for reading this...
I am cycling about 200 miles from Sutton Coldfield on 6/9/2015 to meet up with other cyclists from around the UK at the Houses of Parliament on 8/9/2015 - to support the work of the UK Sepsis Trust in raising awareness about the 37,000 people who die in the UK every year from sepsis and septic shock. 

#cycle4sepsis

I joined the UK Sepsis Trust charity to help raise the awareness of sepsis and bring about improvements in the management of patients with this common life threatening illness.

I have witnessed many people dying from sepsis and other patients suffering the debilitating long term effects of this condition. 
There are no “instant cures” or “magic bullet” drugs for these patients.

To reduce death and injury as a result of sepsis and septic shock there needs to be early recognition, speedy resuscitation and intensive treatment. Sadly, this does not always happen as the public and healthcare professionals frequently fail to recognise the early signs or appreciate the impact of untreated sepsis.

The UK Sepsis Trust is working at local and national level to engage the public, healthcare professionals and politicians in focusing upon improving the care of patients with sepsis and the support of their relatives.

Like any charity, the UK Sepsis Trust needs resources and funds to undertake its work.
Please help by supporting my ride to London with a donation to the UK Sepsis Trust.
