Looking for donations to BEAT SEPSIS and to hope no one has to go through what Gianna had to endure.
Gianna was a strong, active 16 year old. One day she was fine and the next day she was fighting for her life. Unfortunately, she did not survive. We will always keep her in our hearts and to support others with this dreadful disease, please consider donating to the cause. I would truly appreciate any amount you could do, there is no amount too small.
I am not the fastest walker for the Gianna Cirella Memorial 5K, but I get out there every year. So I will do the walk and you can help with your donation to BEAT SEPSIS. Thank you very much for whatever you can do. #GISTRONG

About The Gianna Cirella Memorial 5K
Gianna, 16 years old of Warwick, RI developed a sore throat Oct. 13, 2017 that worsened into pneumonia, then sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection. Doctors amputated her leg in hopes of curbing the infection, however, multiple vital organs continued to fail. On November 1st, at approximately 6pm, Gianna moved on from her pain to a much more comfortable, peaceful place. The disease that got into Gianna's beautiful little body was much larger than her. The disease won; but not without the most courageous battle.
The Gianna Cirella Memorial Fund has been established to provide assistance for sepsis research, education and to children and their families who have been affected by sepsis. 💜
