Sepsis Awareness Campaign
Lil Red’s Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign is Ireland’s first and only Sepsis Awareness Campaign. It was set up in 2018 after the tragic and preventable death of Seàn Hughes aka Lil Red, due to Sepsis. Seàn’s parents Karen and Joe vowed to make it their mission to empower people with the knowledge of how to recognize the symptoms of Sepsis.
Lil Red’s Legacy Sepsis Awareness Campaign is working on producing as much information and educational material as is possible to help the general public become aware of this often deadly condition, and for professionals who can then help the public learn about sepsis when it does strike.
