On the 1st Oct 2025, I will be embarking on a life-changing journey - climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. But this climb is not just for personal achievement; it is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those affected by Meningitis.

My motivation for taking on this challenge stems from a deeply personal experience. When my son was only 3 months old, he contracted Meningitis. It was a terrifying ordeal, but thanks to the swift action of medical professionals, he survived. Sadly, not everyone is as fortunate.

I vividly remember the moment I noticed a small rash on my son's body - no bigger than a 50p coin, 5 hours later in A&E it had spread rapidly. An astute doctor performed a lumbar puncture and admitted him to a 14 day treatment in hospital. It was an agonising time for my family but we were grateful for every ounce of support we were given.

Now, I am asking for your support in my fundraising efforts. My goal is to raise £5000 for Meningitis Now so that they can continue their vital work in providing support and raising awareness about this life-threatening disease.

Meningitis Now is a remarkable charity that provides invaluable support to individuals and families impacted by this devastating disease. They also work tirelessly to raise awareness about Meningitis, a condition that can strike anyone at any time, often when least expected.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Your contribution will go directly to Meningitis Now, enabling them to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by Meningitis.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and considering supporting this cause. Together, we can bring hope and support to individuals and families impacted by Meningitis.
