Thank you for visiting my page :)

In August of 2014, I am climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the fourth largest mountain in the world, raising money for the Meningitis Research Foundation. Being a student, I am in the second most at risk group of people to contract this deadly disease.

Meningitis not only takes lives, it also changes them, with many people who recover suffering from life changing disabilities that dramatically alter their lives.

Meningtitis Group B is most common in the UK, yet we do not have a vaccine for it yet. The foundation raises awareness of the symptoms to try and reduce death and disability as well as working to fund research to prevent Meningitis in the first place.

Originally I was meant to be making the climb in 2013. However, because I don't much fancy being stranded in Africa for a week, it's had to be postponed. However, this gives me an extra year to try and raise even more monies :)

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please, dig deep and donate now.
