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 visiting my fundraising page.

Grace Leigh Vincent was born on 3 April 2009. She contracted Group B Streptococcal Meningitis at 5 weeks old, sustained substantial brain damage and was on a life support machine as she could not breath unaided. She was not expected to survive and her life support was turned off on 20 May 2009. Against all expectations, and after having said goodbye to her, the family watched her breathe for herself, and continue to thrive. She remains in hospital, but with the expectation that she will return home very soon. Grace is likely to have many problems in the future but her family are delighted to have her back and will provide all the love and support she will ever need, no matter what the future holds. The Meningitis UK Trust offers information and support and raises funds to help those affected by this vicious disease and in order that, one day, no more families will have to endure the trauma of watching their loved ones suffer as Grace did, it is important that research is possible to obtain a vaccine against it.

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.
