My story

 
In August 2007 our beautiful baby boy, Fraser, unfortunately contracted meningococcal scepticaemia. It was a shock to everyone. We all know about it, but its something that never happens to you.

Fraser woke up in the middle of the night with the dreaded rash we so often hear about. After being rushed to hospital and with the disease progressing rapidly time was not on our side. Luckily for us Fraser was a true wee fighter and there was no way he was going anywhere. After coming off his ventilator within 24 hours he started to respond very well to treatment. He spent one week in intensive care and two weeks in total in hospital and a further week at home in plaster. His recovery has been amazing and more than we could ever have prayed for. The future looks bright for Fraser and he is thriving every day. We hope more children who have been hit by this horrendous illness can follow in his foot steps.

There are 3000 people diagnosed with the disease each year and can affect anyone at any age but the tragedy is that those most at risk are babies, children and young adults all on the threshold of life - with one in ten people dying. Hopefully we will be able to raise more awareness and more money to help the Meningitis Research Foundation to avoid these terrible tragedies.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep.
