As many of you know we nearly lost our son Elliott to Early on set Group B Strep at birth and were unlucky enough to also suffer Late on set Group B Strep at 3 weeks old. We were totally unaware of this preventable infection until it happened to us. Thankfully we were the lucky ones and Elliott is now a happy healthy 3 and a half year old.

I am hoping to raise money and awareness so that no other family has to go through what we did.

Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection -one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities – physical, mental or both.Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
