We fund research and raise awareness to create a world free from meningitis
Story
I will be running the Bupa 10K for my beautiful friend who sadly lost her battle to meningitis on 19th January 2014. Connie was always the most bubbly, funny and thoughtful girl and I feel very privileged to have shared some amazing memories with her throughout my years at secondary school. I'm currently in training and would like to raise awareness for this cause as well as raise some money! I am sharing this page with my parents as raising money for the Meningitis Research Foundation means a lot to them also.
Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.
