Actor Warwick Davis is the face of a new campaign video that details what it is like living with sepsis. Launched by Green Flag and supported by The UK Sepsis Trust, the Star Wars and Harry Potter star voiced an emotional monologue retelling 100 individual stories of those suffering in a powerful three minute film.
Warwick, whose own wife Sammy suffered from the disease, aimed to highlight the impact of sepsis among families, sufferers and survivors.
She has publicly recounted the series of infections she underwent after a spinal operation she had multiple times- where she believed she was "going to die" and cried for four days until she "accepted" death on the fifth day.
She even appeared on Good Morning Britain to spread a message of hope and survival to others as she is grateful for a "second chance." Some of the other symptoms mentioned in the video that were experienced by individuals were blotchy skin, having a cold, strained muscles, aches, sore throats and much more.The video also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the UK Sepsis Trust, with content to be released on a live stream from the UKST’s Instagram page (@uksepsistrust), as well as being screened at independent cinemas such as Everyman’s King Cross in London and Genesis, Mile End in Birmingham.
