Sepsis Survivor's 8-Year Mission: £14k Raised for Hospital
3 Sep
Summary
- A young boy survived life-threatening sepsis after contracting meningitis B.
- He spent five days in a coma and two weeks in the hospital.
- His family raised over £14,000 for the hospital over eight years.
A family's world changed overnight when their five-year-old son, Archie, was diagnosed with meningitis B, which rapidly progressed to sepsis. This severe infection, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body, led to him spending five critical days in a coma in 2018.
Archie received specialized care and rehabilitation at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. After two weeks, he was discharged, but his journey with the hospital continues with regular check-ups and therapies.
Now 13 years old, Archie is undergoing ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. To express their gratitude, his family has dedicated the past eight years to fundraising for the hospital. Their persistent efforts have yielded remarkable results, raising more than £14,000 for the dedicated medical team.
