Join the Fight Against Sepsis
END SEPSIS is the leading sepsis advocacy organization in the United States. It was founded in 2012 by Ciaran and Orlaith Staunton following the undiagnosed, untreated, and preventable death of their 12-year-old son Rory from sepsis.
Sepsis deaths and disabilities devastate hundreds of thousands of families each year. It’s our mission to end that. Through aggressive public policy initiatives and comprehensive sepsis education for adults and children, we fight to make sure that no more lives are lost to this preventable, treatable condition.

The Legacy of Rory Staunton
On April 01, 2012, our lives changed forever. The door of the waiting room opened at the New York hospital where we had taken our 12-year-old son three evenings before.
The doctor who had tended to Rory for three long days and nights told us that he was sorry – Rory was dead. Rory died from sepsis–a condition we had never heard of. That was the day that our campaign to end sepsis began.
