Amanda lost her beloved dad Jimmy to sepsis in June 2022. He was 71. Too many families will be without their loved ones this Christmas. Sepsis can affect any of us. Always keep an eye out for the main symptoms of sepsis when someone has an infection, including: • a very high or low temperature • uncontrolled shivering • confusion • not passing as much urine as normal • cold or blotchy arms or legs If you have any of these symptoms, getting noticeably worse, you should seek urgent medical attention. If you would like to support our work- raising awareness of sepsis and funding vital research- you can donate by text or visit our website, or sign up to take part in a fundraising event. 📱 Simply text SEPSIS followed by the amount you would like to donate to 70085. For example, to donate £10, text SEPSIS 10 to 70085. This text will cost you £10, plus the cost of a standard network rate message. You will receive a text confirmation when the payment goes through. 💻https://loom.ly/0djJcJA #sepsis #sepsisresearch #inmemory

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day (#IOAD), which is the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose, commemorate those who have died from overdose, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends who have lost someone to overdose. The theme for 2023 is “Recognizing those people who go unseen”. It’s a chance to acknowledge, without stigma, people in our communities who are affected by overdose. By getting involved and joining in on the discussion, we are saying to those affected by overdose that “#weseeyou” and you don’t have to bear the burden of the crisis alone. Here are four major ways you can show your support in #IOAD2023: 1. Get Involved: https://lnkd.in/diNQWtxp 2. Find Resources: https://lnkd.in/gV5ztHEr 3. Tribute a Loved One Lost: https://lnkd.in/dbTUAm6D 4. Donate today! https://lnkd.in/dVrDatMP Learn more about this year’s campaign here: https://lnkd.in/gV5ztHEr We will also be sharing resources on our social media channels throughout the month of August!

It brings me great joy to launch our 'A Little Pitta Love' campaign in support of Coeliac Awareness Month. 💜 Sadly there are a lot of misconceptions still about coeliac disease, hence why Coeliac Awareness Month is hugely important for raising awareness and educating people that coeliac disease is a serious autoimmune condition and not an allergy. When someone with coeliac disease eats gluten, their body attacks its own tissues and causes gut damage. 1 in 100 people in the UK have coeliac disease, yet alarmingly only 36% of people have a medical diagnosis. Our campaign aims to raise awareness and support the work that Coeliac UK is doing to reach the estimated 500,000 people in the UK who might be living with debilitating symptoms and seeking answers. Our goal is to raise £26,000 for Coeliac UK by donating 20p from every limited edition purple pack of stone baked pittas sold across major UK retailers in the month of May. #spreadalittlepittalove #coeliacawarenessmonth

What can I say that is not been said? Heads up! Ostrich heads out of the sand! The human race is in serious trouble as deadly bacteria have outsmarted antibiotics because they are clever and we are so eager for a quick fix that we have taken antibiotics that are meant to kill bacteria. Unfortunately, they do not work on viruses. As many of you know, I spent three years fighting and barely surviving a deadly bacterial infection called C. Difficile. We work together as a nonprofit organization lobbing our Congress people working towards trying to find and develop new targeted antibiotic drugs, and understand the microbiome, so that no others will end up dying as the result the lack of antibiotic protection for a serious infection. We need your help. We need donations in order to continue to do the work that we have done over the past 10 years it has been remarkable. It has led in no small part to some new biologic treatments and it has brought awareness to millions of people around the world who never even knew that an infection like CDF existed until someone they knew passed from it. Please, please, considering making a donation to a nonprofit organization, where you know the money is only going to serve the human population, and protect our future. Every bacterial infection is part of this crisis!
