I’m running the 2025 London Marathon in memory of my nephew Harrison who sadly passed away in 2012, due to Group B strep infection, something we’d never heard of before. We fundraise to help prevent other families going through the same heartache.

Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months.

On average in the UK, at least

-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection

-one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and

-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities physical, mental or both.

Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
