In April 2027, I’ll be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Meningitis Now.

This charity means so much to my family. When my mum was seriously ill with meningitis, the effects of it stayed with her for over 18 months. During those difficult months Meningitis Now provided valuable support to help navigate the challenges that came after leaving the hospital and giving her the strength she needed to rebuild her life. Growing up, I’ve always understood how much that support meant to my mum, and it has inspired me to take on this challenge to give something back.

Meningitis Now works to support everyone affected by meningitis, from providing emotional and practical support to survivors and their families, to raising awareness, funding research and campaigning for better prevention, diagnosis and care. They are there before, during and after meningitis, helping people through some of the most difficult experiences they will ever face. Every donation will help Meningitis Now continue to provide this support to families across the UK - just as they did for mine

Thank you so much for the support.
