Katy Grainger is a recent sepsis survivor and multiple amputee. In September 2018, she became ill with what she thought was "just the flu" but was admitted into the hospital 2 days later with life-threatening septic shock. Fortunately, her physicians identified sepsis and began a protocol that saved her life. They were unable to save her lower legs and 7 of her fingertips. Katy has found a new energy and passion to spread sepsis awareness in the hopes of preventing others from having her experience. Katy joined the Board of Sepsis Alliance in January 2020 and has been sharing her sepsis patient experience to enlighten others about this horrible syndrome. Sepsis Alliance posted a video of her story on YouTube. In the past 3 months this video has been viewed over 120,000 times by people worldwide.
