Story

WE DID IT - 7,769KM COVERED OVER FEB AND MANY QUIZ QUESTIONS ANSWERED - WELL DONE TO EVERY PERSON WHO PARTICIPATED  - YOU HAVE BEEN AMAZING


Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.  The Bold parts below will continue to be updated.  As at 26 February we have recorded 6,610 km covered between us.

We are raising money in support of Meningitis Now in memory of our friend and colleague Lucy.  Lucy was one of those people who was truly genuine, kind and just lovely in every way.  She always gave 110% to whatever she turned her hand to and was a brilliant friend to so many of us.  Whatever else was going on and no matter how busy she was, if you needed to talk ,she would always be there to listen and provide support.  Probably one of the most organised people we have ever worked with and always willing to lend a hand to help someone else out.

Over February, 62 of us are taking part in a jog-on meningitis mash up to raise money for this very important charity.  Various distances will be walked, run, rowed, cycled ( there is even someone attempting 5000 burpees over the month) and teams will battle it out as to who can cover the furthest distance on average.    Any donation you make will keep us both motivated and energised to get up and get out over what is likely to be a grey February.  So far we have targets ranging from 30km (walk) to 425km (run), 800km ( cycle) and don't forget the burpees.  If everyone achieves their minimum we will cover at least 7,714km.  That's London to Bhutan.

Meningitis Now's vision is simple - a future where no-one in the UK loses their life
to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their
lives. To achieve this we:

  • Rebuild future by providing dedicated support for
    free to anyone in the UK who is living with the impact of meningitis. 
  • Reduce the impact of the disease by raising
    awareness of the signs and symptoms of meningitis as well as the vaccines
    available.
  • Help save lives by funding research into
    meningitis vaccines, prevention, treatment and diagnosis.
