Hannah never celebrated her 17th birthday. She tragically, and very suddenly died of meningitis on 7th December last year. She was a fun-loving, talented and caring individual, with her whole life ahead of her. It is essential that a vaccination is found against this terrible disease.

As many of you know, Mike, my team member (!!) is a marathon runner. I am not. The Great North Run is a huge, but very exciting challenge for me. We will succeed , with your support, in memory of a beautiful girl.
