In April 2023, whilst in France, my mum became unwell with ear pain. Less than 48 hours later she was in an induced coma with multiple infections including sepsis.

The critical bulk of care she received was in France, this then continued when she came back to the UK in June 2023 with doctors calling her “a miracle” for surviving what she had been through.

We are so thankful she is here today and want to raise awareness for such a scary and, from our experience, silent illness.

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.
