Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the body overreacting to infection. It kills around 50,000 people in the UK each year. Sepsis Research aims to save lives & improve outcomes in sepsis patients through world leading research and awareness raising. Together we can #stopsepsisnow.

Story

Sepsis Research FEAT is a registered charity (SC049399) and we are the UK’s only sepsis research charity.

Sepsis accounts for around 50,000 deaths in the UK every year - that's more than breast and bowel cancer combined.

We don't understand enough about sepsis and the biological processes that can lead to serious illness or even death. That is why we urgently need to increase funding

- to raise awareness of sepsis

- for research: to understand the processes that lead to sepsis, to design effective treatments for it & to help save lives.

Hi l am a runner who turned 80 this year l have a place in a half marathon in London for this essential charity. Lily McGarry who competed as a top tri-athelete and was studying medicine at Uni. tragically became ill with Sepsis which resulted in the lost of her arms and legs but this courageous young woman will not let this get in the way of life she is still the selfless treasure l knew as a toddler she is an ambassador for the Charity and works with them. Who knows what she will do next.
