Childbed fever is an infection of the womb in new mothers which can lead to septicaemia. Infections are rare, but they can happen to anybody, and can be fatal: 14% of maternal deaths in the UK are due to septicaemia. Jessica's Trust would like every parent, every midwife and doctor to know that childbed fever (also called puerperal fever or puerperal sepsis) is still a very real threat to a mother's life and to know how to recognise the symptoms.

Story

Thank you for visiting our wedding page, and thank you if you decide to donate in honour of our wedding.  We decided on Jessica's Trust as our chosen charity because as we start our married life, we remember a marriage cut short by a preventable and cureable illness that is still killing new mothers.  Ben Palmer's wife, Jessica died of Childbed Fever shortly after the birth of their second child and now Ben campains tirelessly to raise awareness of Childbed Fever and to introduce checks which hopefully will reduce the number of new mothers who die from it.  By donating in honour of our wedding you could make an important change.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - We raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you

Chris and Frances
