When I was in hospital being treated for bacterial meningitis and septicaemia which nearly left me for dead and with neurological injuries, I vowed to get out and one day run the London Marathon. I am now a proud ambassador for Meningitis Now, and am using my experience to support the charity and run the marathon. I am so passionate about this charity and raising awareness and funds, so any donation is appreciated- from 2 quid to 20!

In the 30 years since Meningitis Now was founded, they have funded research, provided support & worked to raise the public's awareness of the disease and researched a lifesaving vaccine.
