A West Belfast woman has opened up about years of poor health which ended in a devastating sepsis diagnosis - a diagnosis which changed her life forever.
Siobhan McCallin, from the Falls Road, is speaking out to raise awareness ahead of Sepsis Awareness Month in March, when her and other families affected by Sepsis will be walking 5K every day.
For Siobhan, a mother-of-four with a passion for education, the day she was told by her doctor that due to her health she was looking at medical retirement, she admits it was a huge blow.
