Story

In 2015, I'll be climbing up Kilimanjaro. (No hesitation in that sentence whatsoever!...) A huge undertaking - undoubtedly a mental and a physical challenge! Everyday until then, I'll be training hard and fighting for your support on my journey! I'll be posting regular updates on this page as proof of my sweaty sessions and hours making cakes!

Imagine being 18 and losing your life in an instant. Imagine if that person was your friend. The symptoms of meningitis are so slight that it can difficult to see it coming before it's too late. What strikes me about this disease is the young age of those it most frequently affects. Bacterial meningitis is most common amongst children under five years of age, particularly babies under the age of one. It's also typical among teenagers aged 15 to 19. 

Help me to spread awareness of this disease and make a difference! I need you to help me help others!! Your support is everything - please please donate!! Big or small (I know you're all generous people), each penny makes a difference. And I promise to give you a free massage if you donate. Deal?

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.
