I fell ill with sepsis earlier this year I didn’t recognise the earlier signs that I was in sepsis or at risk. It’s scary when you feel so ill. I definitely felt seriously ill by the time I arrived at hospital

Once home I realised I needed support to explore what sepsis recovery meant, was what I was feeling to be expected, how long would I feel like this? My hospital notes gave me a link to the UK Sepsis Trust. They have been amazing there are group calls and 1:1 calls to support you. Simple support but very effective

This is why I’m raising money - so that everyone who wants support - whether survivors or those who’ve lost loved ones to sepsis, can access the support they need

I’d love you to give to this great cause meanwhile I’ll be having fun jumping in my ice tub each day

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.
