Stop Sepsis

Sepsis takes the lives of approximately five people every hour in the UK. It occurs when the body’s response to an infection spirals rapidly out of control, injuring its own tissues and organs which can result in multiple organ failure and death.

Sepsis Research FEAT is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting research to help identify treatments for sepsis,

while also working to raise awareness of this devastating condition. Supporters across the UK have already signed up to take part in a range of activities, from local sponsored runs to marathons as far afield as Spain and Kenya.

Sepsis Research FEAT is also marking its 10th anniversary in 2023 by launching a new fundraising campaign called Give Us 10! which will last 10 months.

This follows the success of its Give us 5! campaign during Sepsis Awareness Month last year.

If you would like to get involved in Give Us

10! but are stuck for fundraising ideas, this monthly programme of 10th-anniversary themed challenges has something to suit everyone. Fundraising challenges include: a team of 10 doing an activity or sport together; a 10 hour movie marathon with friends, wild swimming in 10 different locations; giving up something for 10 weeks; 10 hours of your favourite sport or activity; teaming up with 10 friends or colleagues to organise a bake sale; cycling 10 miles; running or walking 10K; a sponsored silence for 10 hours; a group of 10 going Christmas caroling.

A huge thank you to all our supporters up and down the country who are so generously raising money to help Sepsis Research FEAT’s work. Every single one of their fundraising activities plays a vital role in the fight against sepsis. As Sepsis Research FEAT marks its 10th anniversary this year, we’re asking you to consider joining these amazing supporters in being part of our birthday celebrations and supporting an important cause.
