Story

RAISING FUNDS FOR MENINGITIS RESEARCH

Thank you for visiting my webpage. On 7 April 2009 I completed the North Pole Marathon. I am currently embarked on a four year Quest to raise funds for Meningitis Research by attempting to join the exclusive marathon Grand Slam Club. See weblink below

www.npmarathon.com/html/20039.html

To date, I have completed Europe (London), North America (Las Vegas), Africa (Kenya) and Asia (Mumbai) and now the North Pole. I am scheduled ro run in Antartica in December 2009.

PLEASE DONATE

I have so far through the generosity of many people rasied close to £15,000 for the charity and I am hoping to add to this. I need your help to raise these vital funds, please send details of this website to all your friends, lots of small donations will be very welcome. Every penny pledged will go directly to the charity, all travel and entry costs are paid personally.

 PLEASE HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Meningitis and septicaemia can kill in hours. People who recover may be left with permanent disabilities or a range of after effects that dramatically alter their lives. Disabilities include brain damage, sensory disabilities, amputations and a range of non-specific after-effects, permanent and temporary.

Meningitis and septicaemia can, however, often be successfully treated if identified in time. 

The Foundation runs dynamic and effective awareness programmes for both the general public and health professionals, which reflect best current understanding of meningitis and septicaemia. The charity has distributed millions of life-saving symptoms cards, leaflets and posters to the general public and health professionals free of charge.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Research Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. I will, of course, accept any form of donation.


Please send details of this webpage to everyone you know. Thank you.
