Story

Hello everyone,

I am excited to announce that I will be teaming up with Choose a Challenge to embark on an incredible journey to Everest Base Camp in aid of Meningitis Research Foundation. Starting on August 30th, 2023, this once-in-a-lifetime challenge will take me across the globe, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to raise awareness and funds for such an important cause.

Meningitis is a global health concern that affects millions of people every year, both in and outside of the UK. The disease has devastating consequences for those who contract it, and it's one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Shockingly, 1 in 10 people who contract meningitis lose their lives, and 2 in 10 people are left with life-altering disabilities such as amputation or brain injury.

To help make a difference and support the Meningitis Research Foundation, I'm asking for your help by donating to my fundraising campaign. Your contribution will go towards vital research and support for those affected by meningitis.

I'm committed to completing this challenging trek to Everest Base Camp and raising as much as I can for this worthy cause. I'd be so grateful for any contribution, no matter how big or small.

Thank you for your support,

Tom

Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.
