In the 40 years since Meningitis Now was founded, we have funded research, provided support & worked to raise the public's awareness of the disease. Our vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis & everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Story

As many of you may know we have completed our almighty cycling trip, the team who partook in the epic challenge consists of Jeremy Fletcher, myself (Josh Maddison) Guy Murray, James Booth, and Simon Childs.

Our plan was to cycle 850km or from the north of down through the stunning country visiting most of the major cites. We ended up doing over a 1000km.

Our journey began in and we cycled through , , and eventually looped around the Amalfi coast.

On our travels we encountered some massive obstacles such as the crazy Italian traffic, four mountains, trying to keep up with Jeremy, Italians always trying to rip us off, a lack of food, but worst of all a trip to the hospital. 

The reason for supporting the meningitis trust is because me and my family have suffered from this terrible disease, when I was only 3 months old I was diagnosed with meningitis and spent 10 days in intensive care.

The main reason I have chosen to support the trust is to raise awareness. Wwareness is crucial and if symptoms are not recognized quickly then the consequences can be fatal.

Although we have reached our goal all donations are still greatly appreciated and any money that we do raise will go a long way. So please carry on giving generously.  

Any donations no matter how small are welcome.    

Thank you 

Josh and the team
