Raising money for

Meningitis Trust

Charity Registration No. 803016

The Meningitis Trust is the UK’s longest established meningitis charity. It helps around 20,000 people each year through its range of specialist services; giving vital support to those who have been affected by this life-changing disease. With as many as 500,000 people living in the UK who have had either viral or bacterial meningitis and up to one adult in every four knowing someone who has had meningitis, the charity’s ongoing work is much-needed. The charity is committed to raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and distributes millions of leaflets, posters, symptoms cards, information sheets and other materials every year.

My story

On 13th April 2008 I will be attempting to run the London Marathon! For those of you who don't know, that is 26.2 miles, or 42 kms! either way you look at it - it's a long way!!

I will be running in memory of Adina Harper who tragically lost her life very suddenly, aged only 14, to Meningitis. Some of you will have known Adina and know what a fantastic, full of fun girl she was; all of you know someone who could be struck by meningitis. Her death has profoundly affected her family and friends and left all who knew her with a deep sense of loss.

I have chosen to run for The Meningitis Trust in the hope that I can raise funds to help families affected by Meningitis, increase awareness of the disease and aid research into vaccines and treatments.

Obviously I will be putting in a lot of work between now and then - training come rain wind or snow - all I want you to do is sponsor my efforts and help me reach my goal of raising £1500.

So please dig deep and sponsor me online - everything helps and your support will spur me over the finish line (and I'm going to need all the help I can get!!)

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Trust 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support, Vicky
