Story

I am running the 2022 London Marathon to help raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation. 

The reason this charity has a special place in my heart was due to being lucky enough to escape being taken by meningococcal meningitis. 

I went to bed on Christmas eve and woke up in coma a week later, with loved ones coming to my bedside to say their goodbye incase I did not wake, then spending over a month in hospital. 

However I am one of the lucky ones. On my check out from the hospital another young guy passed away from meningococcal meningitis who was exactly the same age as me. 

If you can help in anyway and contribute to my fund raising for the London marathon I would personally be forever grateful. 

Much love 

Benji

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.
