Story
Hugo and I have been together for 4 years. In January 2025, he was rushed to ICU with life-threatening bacterial meningitis. Despite being vaccinated, he became critically ill with sepsis and was placed in a medically induced coma.
Heartbreakingly, his family and I didn’t know if he would survive. Thanks to the most incredible medical team, Hugo pulled through - but he has been left permanently deaf in both ears. He now wears cochlear implants.
Watching him fight such a devastating illness with such strength and resilience has been nothing short of inspiring. To honour him and to raise vital funds for Meningitis Research, I'm running the London Marathon 2026. 🏃♀️
This cause means the world to me. Meningitis can affect anyone, especially uni students and young children. More research is desperately needed to prevent more families from going through what Hugo, his family, and I have.
If you can, please support my fundraising by donating what you can- every pound truly makes a difference 🙏
Thank you so much for reading and for helping me turn Hugo's story into hope for others.❤️
