In the 40 years since Meningitis Now was founded, we have funded research, provided support & worked to raise the public's awareness of the disease. Our vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis & everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.

Story

This summer, me and Harry will run over 190 miles from the west coast to the east coast of England, following the iconic Wainwright Coast to Coast route, in aid of the Meningitis Trust and Dementia. This challenge will involve running 7 marathons in 7 days and tackling over 6,900 meters of elevation gain.​

Along the way, we will explore some of England’s most beautiful landscapes, from the Lake District to the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. More than just a physical feat, this run aims to raise awareness and funds for Meningitis and Dementia, Meningitis Now has always been an important charity to me and my family as sadly we lost our brother Sam in 2003 to Meningitis, so me and Harry will be running it for him.

By completing this challenge, we hope to support our foundation in their missions to save lives and provide vital research and support.
