Raising money for

Meningitis UK

Charity Registration No. 1076774

Meningitis UK funds lifesaving research to find a vaccine to eradicate all forms of meningitis. Sadly the disease can be incredibly difficult to detect as the symptoms are similar to the common cold or flu, plus there are occasions when people show no, or very few, symptoms. For these reasons we believe the only way to truly eradicate the disease is through the development of a preventative vaccine, which is our sole focus. We are confident that with enough support, we will be able to put a stop to the heartache and devastation it causes.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. For the second year running, I will be raising money for Meningitis UK. This small charity has a simple aim, finding a vaccine for all forms of this dreadful and often deadly disease.

About eighteen months ago one of the senior girls at my daughters' school suddenly died from Meningitis. We were immensely shocked with the speed that this tragedy unfolded, and as you can imagine the effect on the school was devastating. Children under five and young adults in the 15 to 24 year age group are the most at risk, and anything you can spare will go towards understanding why, and finding a vaccine to protect future generations.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis UK gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
