Story

The Lantern Memory Walk is a special 5K walk through Wythenshawe Park in Manchester as dusk falls. This meaningful event brings together those walking in memory of a loved one lost to meningitis, alongside survivors, their families, friends and supporters. Together, we'll walk side by side to remember, reflect and support one another, with lanterns lighting the way through the park. Every step and every donation will help Meningitis Now continue its vital work supporting families, funding research and raising awareness.
