#6 - Christine Caron

Vibrant single mother of 4, Christine Caron went from leading an active and healthy lifestyle, to being in a medically induced coma for one month, and having to amputate 3 and a-half-limbs all because of a small dog bite.  Often known as “the dog-bite woman”, Christine, shares with us her life-altering and life-threatening experience of going into extreme Septic shock in response to a small infection, and how that put her on a mission to help educate and support others.

Christine is now an advocate for Sepsis awareness, is on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Sepsis Foundation, and is helping to start the Amputee Coalition of Canada to connect amputees across Canada and to offer them a support system to feel and believe that “There is life after amputation and trauma.” – Christine Caron.
