Why Meningitis UK you may enquire, well the speed with which this illness takes hold is truly disturbing. I went from a guy enjoying watching a rugby international to serious illness and hospitalisation wthin hours. I actually had Ventriculitis, but some brain infections are similar in their effects. Fortunately, there are treatments and stories of recovery. Assisted by fast diagnosis and suitable action we can enable medical team to acheive improved outcomes. The Bristol 10K is a celebration of my recovery and will indulge my passion for running again.

As a "formely" resonable middle distance runner, it is a personal triumph to be undertaking this challenge and is a return to a former passion. This run is purely an introduction to running again, so my training goals realistically are to acheive both the start and finish line only!!
