I am raising money in memory of Katie, who sadly and suddenly passed away from meningitis, aged 18, in the Spring of 2025. Katie was a friend of mine and a close friend of Nicole's. She was a beautiful young soul taken far too soon, and we both miss her so much.

I’m starting the fundraiser with the Boxing Day Dip, and will be working towards the Great North Run 2026.

Raising money to help fight against meningitis will hopefully prevent others from experiencing the same loss.
