Harry Potter star Warwick Davis has launched an emotional video about those who are suffering from sepsis.
The 52-year-old's wife, Sammy, was struck down with sepsis, meningitis and Strep B infections in 2018.
In a new video, Warwick voiced a powerful monologue which is a curated script of families, survivors and sufferers of sepsis.
The clip was organised by Green Flag in support of its charity partner The UK Sepsis Trust.
Warwick retold 100 individual stories in the emotional video.
Some of the symptoms the individuals felt were blotchy skin, strained muscles, having a cold, aches, sore throats and more.
Warwick said of the campaign: "The UK Sepsis Trust is a charity that is close to my heart, and I was made more aware of the condition through my acting career.
"It’s astonishing how many people are affected by sepsis on a day-to-day basis, and I’m honoured to help spread the message to ensure as many people as possible know there is a place to go for support and guidance."
According to research, though treatable in many cases, there are an estimated 245,000 cases of sepsis in the UK each year, with 48,000 people losing their lives.
In 2018, Sammy opened up about the trio of infections she got after a spinal operation she had many times.
Sammy said she believed she was "going to die" and cried for four days over it before she "accepted" death on the fifth day.
The mum-of-two appeared on Good Morning Britain to share her message of hope, telling families to make time for one another as appreciates her "second chance."

She said: "For four days I cried, 'I don't want to die,' I was absolutely sobbing. On the fifth day I thought, 'I'm gonna die and can’t do anything about it.'
"It was the best and worst experience of my life. The best because I’ve got a second chance but the worst because of the pain, and the post sepsis is really rubbish.
"I want to tell everybody to love. One day I thought, 'This is it, I’m going' and I thought we need more time. Tell your kids you love them, tell your husbands… it’s made me a better person. The kids say I’m a lot calmer and I can feel it."
Warwick said he tried not to think about whether she would die, but realised how quickly she looked as though she was going to go.
He said: "I think in those situations you put those thoughts to the back of your mind.
"But then at the time heading to A&E she was deteriorating by the minute, I noticed it really very quickly."
