On 28th August 2023 I will begin a 10 day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro with 40 peers from both the University Of Reading and the University Of Exeter. My trek is in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation; a charity which aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia, who's aim is to have a cure for Meningitis by 2030!

Meningitis can affect anyone at any time, but there are particular bacteria that increase the risk of meningitis in teenagers and students. 

Meningitis and neonatal sepsis are the second biggest infectious killer of children under the age of five on the planet, affecting more than 5 million people every year! They are responsible for more deaths of children under 5 than malaria, measles, tetanus and AIDS combined!

Meningitis Research Foundations work is providing better access to vaccines, health systems that can diagnose and treat children, and support to survivors of meningitis. They've pioneered a global roadmap, bringing together global expertise to defeat meningitis by 2030. It is time to make meningitis a global health priority, you can do this today by donating using the give now button.

Every donation, big or small, to help me achieve my goal will be greatly appreciated by both myself and the charity. I will be posting updates on here regarding my fundraising events throughout the year!
