<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In December 2005 our Daughter Lia-Rose Karen Tarn died at 5 days old from Group B Streptococcal Meningitis, a preventable infection (carried by 1/3^rd of all men and women) that if detected in newborn infants can be easily treated with antibiotics. If untreated, Babies up to 3 months of age are susceptible. Annually 700 babies become infected and around 75 babies will die. With increased awareness these tragedies can be avoided.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On the 15^th August I will set off from&nbsp;Haweswater in Cumbria to climb over 30,000 feet (the equivalent height of Mt. Everest from sea level), walk over 100 miles and cover the top 30&nbsp;highest peaks in Cumbria. I intend to complete the trek in Pooley Bridge in the Ullswater valley 5 days later. I don&rsquo;t believe this has ever been attempted or achieved before.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This will all be in aid of Group B Meningitis Strep research &amp; support, which killed our Daughter 5 years ago. Just &pound;25 will save a babies life. We now have event title sponsorship from Outdoor retailers Blacks &amp; Millets - will you support/sponsor me too? </span></span></p> <p>All support, either financial or other, is welcomed!</p>
