My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and a massive thanks to those who have already donated.  

Meningitis UK has organised a sponsored walk from the Tyne Bridge, Gateshead to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol which will take place between 1st & 16th October 2011.  Participants can join at any stage of the walk for any distance. 

Bev & I will be walking on 9th October 2011 from Whaley Bridge to Onecote - a total of 22 miles. 

Meningitis UK is a national charity with a sole focus on prevention and funding lifesaving research to eradicate all forms of meningitis. Meningitis is a terrifying disease which can kill in less than four hours and tragically is most prevalent in children and young people. 

Meningitis affects thousands of people in the UK every year and devastates families and whole communities, so developing a vaccine will make a huge difference to countless lives. 

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 - Bev & I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks

Meningitis UK's vision is a vaccine to eradicate all forms of meningitis. Every week, six families have to face the sudden tragedy of losing a loved one to this devastating disease. Because it can kill in under four hours and the symptoms are notoriously difficult to spot, we believe a preventative vaccine is the only way to spare people this heartache. Our Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign aims to raise £7million to help fund cutting-edge research to help us achieve this goal and save thousands of lives in the future.
