Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit the fundraising page we set up in honour of our beautiful daughter, Caitlyn, who died from meningitis a month before her 21st birthday. Caitlyn touched so, so many people in her short life, and we would like that to continue by raising funds to hopefully end the tragedies that are deaths from meningitis. Your help in her honour would be gratefully appreciated. 

UPDATE:

On the 2nd September 2023, Caitlyn's father, uncle and some close family friends are riding the 160 miles from the Garden Cafe in Hove, West Sussex to Starwing Brewery in Redgrave, Norfolk in a single day to continue to raise money in her honour. We have chosen the start and end points because Caitlyn worked at both, the former whilst at uni and the latter in her gap year. If you would like to follow our preparations for this ride, please follow: @thedragonflyride on Instagram.
