Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My close friend Tim Read and I have resolved to WALK the 192 mile Wainwright Coast to Coast Trail in July. 

Tim's son, Euan, died of meningitis 20 years ago and to mark this anniversary, Tim and I are both undertaking this 16 day trek over England's most hilly regions to raise funds for Meningitis Research Foundation. 

Euan was a superfit young man of 26 with everything going for him; a wonderful young family and fulfilling work as a talented entertainer.  In 1994 he contracted meningitis and died within 3 days, leaving a young pregnant widow and a 2 year old daughter.  The whole family was devastated.

Euan and Tim did a lot of mountain walking together so this challenge is a highly appropriate way to commemorate this special anniversary.

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.
