You are invited to attend the Wales Sepsis Summer Ball on Saturday 19th September.

The drinks reception will start at 7pm, followed by dinner and dancing at the Mercure Hotel in Cardiff. This dress code is black tie and cocktails dresses, and the evening will include a raffle and auction in aid of The UK Sepsis Trust and the Mothers of Africa.

Tickets cost £45 each. Please contact Maria Gundy – 02920 74 31 10 for more information.

The Mothers of Africa Charity are helping to prevent expectant mothers in sub Saharan Africa from dying needlessly, by helping to train medical staff to care for mothers during pregnancy and childbirth. The figures are staggering with 1 in 8 mums dying of childbirth related diseases over a lifetime, as risk accumulates.  Imagine if your mum had died in childbirth.  Funds raised from this event will help us build a Primary School in Shiyala Zambia, to help educate tomorrow’s mums.

UK Sepsis Trust: Sepsis is a life threatening condition that arises when the body’s response to an infection injures its own tissues and organs. Sepsis leads to shock, multiple organ failure and death especially if not recognized early and treated promptly.  Unfortunately, lots of people do not survive with Sepsis being one of our biggest killers both in Wales, UK and the Developing World! Shocking, since so few people are aware of it, but sepsis claims 37,000 lives every year in the UK and costs the NHS £2.5 billion a year. In comparison, breast cancer claims less than 8,000 lives/year. 

Please support this event by coming along, sponsoring the event or advertsing in our brochure.  Both charities are very deserving of your support.
