Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Saturday 6th November I shall be taking part in a Firewalk, walking barefoot across 20ft of glowing red hot coals, to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation. I know I'm crazy for doing this, however, I'm aiming to raise at least £100 to this worthwhile charity. 

A wee bit about meningitis...

Meningitis Research Foundation estimates that there are around 3,300 cases of bacterial meningitis and septicaemia every year in the UK and Republic of Ireland. This means that every day nine people become ill with the diseases.  With one in ten people dying, a death will occur almost every day. A further two people will be left with life-altering after effects as severe as brain damage, deafness and multiple amputations.

The highest burden of meningitis in the world is in the Meningitis Belt of sub-Saharan Africa, where epidemics can strike up to a quarter of a million people in a single year, with tens of thousands of deaths.
