Hi everyone

I'm doing the Dublin marathon on the 25th October 2010, i'm doing this to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation. Why this charity you ask? As some of our friends and family already know our first son Riain was diagnosed with GBS (group b strep menningitis) when he was five weeks old. He spent four agonising  weeks in hospital and lucky for us he battled through and survived. He is now approaching his sixth birthday and is a normal happy little boy with no side affects. No matter how small or big your donation every penny counts into helping find ways to prevent and treat this deadly disease.
