Story

Come rain or shine in January and February I pledge to get in a wet muddy a ditch and pull out a minimum of 6 bags of litter.

This is not an easy task: dark nights, work commitments, horrid weather, freezing fingers, soaking wet feet, bramble, drivers tizer (think about it) and even worse hang in the bottom of these ditches.  Last nights celebratory happening of many kinds, handling drugs paraphenalia (carefully), pulling fly-tips to places the council will collect it from, rolling car tyres, dragging wet heavy all sorts.  In January and February this will not be fun - only your support (for Sepsis Trust) will get me out there saving our wildlife from the litter death traps. Please help.

The Sepsis trust gave us so much support both during the month Harriet was in hospital, much of it spent on a ventilator under sedation, and for the year afterwards when coming to terms with her new normal.  She will always suffer from the after affects and we know the Sepsis trust will always be there for her.


(COVID-19 has been a stark reminder of the potentially devastating impact of severe infection and, like many charities, weve been hit hard by the pandemic.But, with 245,000 people every year in the UK developing sepsis, 48,000 of whom dont survive, its more important than ever that we continue to educate people about the dangers of sepsis and the signs to look out for, as well as being there for those who need our support. We're proud of what we've achieved since our foundation in 2012, but there's so much still to do. Your help at this crucial time will enable us to:Educate more people about the signs of sepsisSupport an increasing number of people affected by sepsis and COVID-19.Thank you so much!)

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.
