My name is James and I am currently a 4th year at the University of Warwick! In September 2022 I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest freestanding mountain located in Tanzania, Africa, its peak sitting at 5895m above sea level.

My climb was all in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation; a charity that aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia. Shockingly, meningitis and neonatal sepsis are the second biggest infectious killer of children under the age of five on the planet, affecting more than 2.8 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 Foundation's work is aiming to provide better access to vaccines, health systems that can diagnose and treat children, and support to survivors of meningitis. Its time to make meningitis a global health priority, and with your help Meningitis Reseach Foundation aims to eradicate meningitis as its long-term goal. Please donate today to aid in this amazing target!

Thank you for your generosity and time,

James
