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.

I have supported Meningitis Now since we lost our Halle.

They Continue to support our family and Heather is an ambassador for the charity and attends schools, universities and colleges to make as many people aware of the signs and symptoms of Meningitis.

We are doing this Lantern walk to raise money but also to give ourselves some reflective Halle time together with others who have been affected by Meningitis either through sudden loss or for survivors who are living with life changing effects.

Meningitis Now do wonderful work in research and also helping families affected.

We always come away from any of their events feeling that we are not alone.

Even if you can only spare £1 it will be much appreciated.
