In the 40 years since Meningitis Now was founded, we have funded research, provided support & worked to raise the public's awareness of the disease. Our vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis & everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Our son Alex died of meningitis on the 19th December 2006 at the age of 17. He was a beautiful and talented young man cruelly taken from us by this awful disease. The Meningitis Trust offer support to many families similarly affected by meningitis and septicaemia.

Well I did it!! Five hours and thirty six minutes to get around the course - not bad for an old man of fifty five!! The  calves, glutes and toenails are all protesting but the sense of achievement is overwhelming. I am so grateful for everybdoy's support, you have been wonderful, and I am delighted at the sponsorship total.

A big thank you also to Tex and Pete without whose encouragement I would never have attempted this event.
