Today Wallace was joined by Sue Choochy Gray who spoke about her late son Matthew who passed away from Meningitis at just 21 years old in April 2023. Matthew’s death could have been avoided if the adults with him at the time he was showing severe symptoms raised the alarm, he was obviously unwell but his need for help was ignored. Sue has ever since been campaigning for a change to the law to make it a legal requirement to raise an alarm in a medical emergency, a new Duty of Care Law for everyone, she has petition with now over 79’500 signatures, the target is 100’000 please sign if you can and share it high and wide. Link is here www.change.org/DutyOfCareForEveryoneEverywhere Sue also reminded everyone of the symptoms of meningitis, with the current outbreak in Kent it is vitally important that you keep a look out and call for an ambulance if someone you are with experiences any combination of these symptoms, severe headache, high fever, bad sensitivity to bright lights, convulsions, severe joint pain, confusion, extreme drowsiness, a red/purple rash that doesn’t fade when pressed and/or finally the one Sue said is most important and saved her other son’s life a stiff neck that prevents you from putting your chin to your chest. Sue’s message was current and serious look out for one another and be very careful. Thank you Sue, all at Sheppey FM wish you every luck in getting to those 100’000 signatures too.
Sue Choochy Gray has been on Sheppey FM before talking about her late son Matthew who sadly passed away from Meningitis, Matthew was failed by others that knew he was unwell and didn’t raise the alarm to get him help on time, Sue has been campaigning for a change in the law to make it a duty of care to seek help in medical emergencies. Sue also wants people to be aware of the symptoms of meningitis in the hope that if more people knew what to look for lives can be saved, given the levels of infection in and around Canterbury, now affecting Swale and the sad loss of young lives, we feel it is important like local hero Sue, to share this information that really could save lives. Please share and look out for the symptoms in your relatives, if in doubt seek medical advice. Thank you Sue for speaking up for our young people everywhere. ❤️💪🏼

He isn’t given anywhere to stay during his journey so has to sleep where he lands, he has a huge backpack with a tent and sleeping bag, last night he stayed outside the studio, so this morning he was given a nice cup of coffee and some toast before having to set back on his way. This week he is walking around the island, so if you see him please be kind and follow the link below if you would like to give to his cause.
