The Lantern Memory Walk is a special 5K walk through Wythenshawe Park in Manchester as dusk falls.

Story

Millie & I will be taking part in a 5k walk to raise money for meningitis. This is very close to our heart as Millie is a survivor.

Meningitis Now is the first meningitis patient group in the world, founders of the meningitis movement and the only charity dedicated to fighting meningitis in the UK. Since 1986 they have invested over £12.7m in early stage research.

The money I raise will help fund vital awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease (it's not just the glass test!), while supporting further research into meningitis and helping provide everything from counselling to adaptive equipment for those whose lives have been changed forever by meningitis.
