Story
“Thanks for visiting mine and the Brixworth Velo team fundraising page.
In memory of Jonty, myself and my pals from the Brixworth Velo cycling group will be riding 200 miles in 2 days from Brixworth to his grave-site at Ulley and back over the weekend of 14th/15th July.
Jonty, son of Brixworth Velo rider and great friend Paul Jarvis, died of Meningitis on 17th March 2005, aged just 6. He was a lovely, happy-go-lucky little boy who liked riding his bike, trains and football. He was fine one evening, and taken by this dreadful disease the next morning, never regaining consciousness.
Your support will go towards the fantastic work done by the charity such as the campaign calling for the Meningitis B Vaccine to be given to all children under 11 free on the NHS, supporting new research projects and funding the publicity material, information and help-lines that Meningitis Now provides to support people affected by this awful condition.
Whether it's £1 or £100 every penny you can afford to donate will be gratefully received and contribute towards our adventurous team target.
Please dig deep for this very worthy cause and support the Brixworth Velo in helping us smash our goal and support this great charity.“
