In 2022 I will be climbing The High Atlas Mountains in Morocco with my team mate Jess to raise money for The Meningitis Research Foundation. (This was previously Mount Kilimanjaro but has now changed!)

MRF are a charity which aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia. 

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 can kill you within 12 hours and 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. Thanks to your support they've pioneered a global roadmap, bringing together expertise to defeat meningitis by 2030... Only 8 years to go! It's time to make meningitis a global health priority, please help by pressing the 'Give Now' button.

Thank you for reading and for all of your ongoing support x
