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

******IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO STILL SPONSOR ME, PAGE OPEN UNTIL 31ST DECEMBER :-)******

On Sat 4th July......WE DID IT………………….. and it was the most incredible experience ever!!

After the months of worry & panic Mandy & I did our tandem skydive on the 4^th July, jumping out of a plane at 12,000 feet! To say it was the most amazing experience of my life would be an understatement, falling through the clouds at 120 miles per hour cannot be topped!!

It’s not too late to still sponsor me though, if you meant to come back & do it but forgot, my page is open until 31st DECEMBER!!!

THANK YOU so much for all your generosity & support, it means so much to us & Meningitis UK.

As most of you know I have wanted to raise money for Meningitis for a while now & although I was petrified I thought I had more chance of jumping out of a plane than completing a run!!! I hoped that once I was up there if I thought about William it would make me take the plunge, quite literally! & it worked!

Nothing could have prepared Fred & I for when William was ill, no child or parent should have to go through that, thankfully William was one of the lucky ones and we now have our gorgeous, happy, healthy boy. Unfortunately, there are an awful lot of children who aren’t as fortunate. I am doing the jump with my friend Mandy, her husband's cousin has unbearably lost 2 children to this horrendous disease.

Meningitis UK has a single focus - to find a vaccine to protect against all forms of meningitis and associated diseases.

Meningitis UK's 'Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign' aims to raise £7 million to help fund cutting-edge research to develop a vaccine against Meningitis B, which causes almost 90% of cases in the UK and for which there is currently no vaccine.

I paid for the jump myself so 100% of the sponsorship raised will go to Meningitis UK. It only takes a couple of minutes to sponsor me.

Also, please could you forward this to family & friends that you think maybe interested & please could I ask those of you on Facebook to post this information & a link to my page, the more awareness & support we raise the better

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.

Please sponsor me now!

Thank you all!
