Story

On 24-25 July I am planning to complete the UltraChallenge Coast to Coast 105km hike from Minehead on the North Somerset Coast to Dawlish on the South Devon Coast.  We tragically lost our 21 year old son, Harry, to Septic Shock after a brief flu illness in 2019.  My daughter, Rosie will be joining in me in this epic walk.  I would be very grateful to anyone willing to sponsor us. (You can read about our other charity fundraising efforts in Harry's memory at www.harrylownds.org)

Sepsis Research FEAT is a registered charity (SC049399) and we are the UK’s only sepsis research charity. Sepsis accounts for around 50,000 deaths in the UK every year - that's more than breast and bowel cancer combined. We don't understand enough about sepsis and the biological processes that can lead to serious illness or even death. That is why we urgently need to increase funding:- to raise awareness of sepsis- for research: to understand the processes that lead to sepsis, to design effective treatments for it & to help save lives.
