Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
In November last year someone close to my heart was diagnosed with meningitis and septicaemia. The teams of doctors and nurses fought for nearly two months to save her life but they were unable to save her lower legs and fingers and as a result of meningitis she had them amputated. She has also had extensive skin grafts where her skin had blistered all over her body.  Over eight months later she was allowed home to continue the painfull process of learning to walk with artificial legs and now is thankfully on the road to recovery.
Throughout this period the Meningitis Research Foundation were a great source of information and support. They are working towards reducing the impact of this devastating disease.
PLEASE support them by sponsoring me as much as you can.
THANK YOU.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Meningitis Research Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
