As many of you who know me may know, meningitis research is a very important charity to me and my family. They are so close to finding a vaccination that will eradicate meningitis B and stop children dieing from this terrible disease.  I am not a natural runner so the great north run will be a big mission for me. I really appreciate all your support.  Even if you cannot donate a lot, please donate what you can.  Thanks guys xxxx

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Research Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
