In the videos, three parents who have needlessly lost their children to sepsis tell their story of loss, share their children’s final words and urge viewers to “know the signs of sepsis”. These precious young people could and should have been saved. If only the signs of sepsis were more widely known, they would all be alive today.
Please help us prevent more unnecessary deaths from sepsis by spreading these simple but lifesaving messages. We encourage you to share these videos throughout your networks via email and social media and at events. In the fight against sepsis, education is what matters most and everyone has a role to play.

The 30 and 60 second formats are also ideal for television. Contact the stations in your area and ask that they be aired during breaks in programming. Please note that both the Rory Staunton Foundation and the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research are nonprofit organizations; the videos can therefore be aired as public service announcements.
