25th Anniversary Walk · 23 May 2014 to 30 May 2014 ·

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.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I became interested in meningitis research when I learnt about the devastating effects of  meningitis epidemics on poor communities in the "meningitis belt" of sub-Saharan Africa.: 

  • 21 countries, 300 million people at-risk
  • 700,000 cases in the past 10 years
  • 10-50% case fatality rate
  • permanent brain damage in 10-20% of survivors

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
