Warriors Women have marked World Sepsis Day by announcing that the UK Sepsis Trust have become their main shirt sponsor for the 2019/20 Tyrrells Premier 15s season.
The name and logo of The UK Sepsis Trust will be prominently displayed on Warriors Women’s shirts throughout the season to help raise awareness of a life-threatening reaction to infection which kills five people every hour and affects 25,000 children each year in the UK.
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with Worcester Warriors Women for the upcoming rugby season alongside AIM Internet as a supporting partner,” said Dr Ron Daniels, Founder and CEO of The UK Sepsis Trust.
“The key to ending preventable deaths from sepsis is empowerment and we are so grateful to Warriors Women for giving us the opportunity to raise awareness of sepsis in communities and families, helping them to feel able to “Just Ask: Could it be sepsis?”
“The awareness and funds raised will be pivotal in continuing the fight against sepsis and saving lives all over the UK.”
Warriors Women Director of Rugby Roy Davies said: “Sepsis is life-threatening and life changing and it can be hard to spot – one of our players is a recent sepsis survivor so this is a cause close to our hearts.
“Raising awareness is just one way that we can help fight sepsis and Warriors Women are delighted to play our part by partnering with The UK Sepsis Trust. We thank the Trust for their generous shirt sponsorship which Warriors Women will wear with pride and we are committed to supporting the life-saving work that they do.”
Warriors Women will hold a Sepsis Awareness Day on Sunday December 1 when Bristol Bears Women are the visitors with the aim of filling the stadium. Further details to follow.
