Story

We experienced Sepsis first hand when we lost our daughter, sister and niece Jess suddenly to Sepsis in December 2017 aged 23.  Jess was a happy, loving, vibrant person who has left a huge hole in all of our lives.  We want to raise awareness of this serious illness and raise essential funds for the Sepsis Trust to improve the way Sepsis is handled in the UK.  We want to stop other families going through what ours has.  Jess was always helping others and we want to do this for her in her memory.

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.
