We fund research and raise awareness to create a world free from meningitis
Story
As most of you probably know, I suffered from Meningitis when I was 16. It was a pretty horrible time spent in hospital followed by a long drawn out recovery period at home.
However thanks to all the research and the amazing support given by the Meningitis Research Foundation, it was diagnosed and treated in time and I was able to make a full recovery.
Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.
