Heidi’s Story: Heidi was diagnosed with Hyperinsulinism (the production of too much insulin causing severe hypogleciemia) in November 2021. This involves a lot of hospital visits- during a hospital stay in July 2022 Heidi was fitted with a PICC line to help stabalise her blood sugars, unfortunately Heidi contracted a line infection from the PICC line and from that ended up with Severe sepsis and septic shock. She was rushed to intensive care where she was Intubated for several days. This was by far the scariest time of Emma and Tony's lives not knowing if she would be able to beat Sepsis. Luckily for all of us she did, but she still suffers with the after affects now.
if you can donate to this cause we would be extremely grateful as it is very close to our hearts and also extremely important to raise awareness as anyone could contract Sepsis!
thank you!
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.
