THE brother of a man who died from sepsis is now a key voice in Britain’s sepsis fundraising efforts – despite never having heard of the condition before his brother\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Canning, from Llandaff North, was 41 when he passed away from sepsis in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His brother Terence had never heard of sepsis before 2012, but today is head of regions at the UK Sepsis Trust. He wants to spread awareness of the symptoms of sepsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI lost my brother to sepsis in 2012 very suddenly and we’d never heard of sepsis at that time so we raise awareness, throughout the year, of the condition and events like today really make the sepsis and Sepsis Trust visible,\u201d the 50-year-old said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat we’re trying to do is shine a light on that and let people know what the symptoms of sepsis are so they can react quickly, seek health care quickly and hopefully be treated quickly and have a good outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
