Emily & Co running for Will

Emily Hewes is raising money for Meningitis Research Foundation

Team: Running for Will

Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Hackney Half Marathon · 21 May 2023

Meningitis Research Foundation is a charity driven by a passionate mission to prevent the devastating impact of meningitis. Founded by individuals whose lives were profoundly affected by meningitis, we are dedicated to enabling positive change by uniting people and knowledge to save lives.

Story

My brother Ed and I, some good friends and more of Will's nearest and dearest are all running the Hackney Half this May in support of the Meningitis Research Foundation and in memory of our brother Will who died suddenly in January aged 22 from Meningococcal Sepsis.

Will was one of the sweetest, funniest (and definitely tallest) people in our lives and we will miss him forever. He was the most enthusiastic chef, the loudest singer, the quickest drinker, the best hugger, and the boy with the biggest heart. 

He was taken from us incredibly quickly, as is often the case with meningitis and sepsis.

We'd really appreciate your donations to raise money for the vital work Meningitis Research Foundation is doing; funding research and increasing awareness, to support those impacted by these life-threatening illnesses and hopefully prevent this from happening to others.

Most importantly, we'd love your support to cheer us on and your thoughts to remember our lovely Will.
