Story

Thank you so so much for all your very generous donations, and the kind messages I took with me on the run.  I am  elated to have raised so much money. 

On 25th April I ran the Virgin London Marathon.  My target was to raise £1,200 for the Meningitis Research Foundation. 

The charity is very close to my heart.  In 2001 my son, Oscar, died aged 3 of Streptococcal Meningitis, a devastating loss which changed mine and and my family's life forever. 

All the money that I raise will help to protect others from the tragedy that we have suffered.The MRF funds research to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, they promote education and awareness to reduce death and disability and give support to people affected.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Every penny counts so please give what you can and help me raise the funds I need to make my target.

Thank you for your donation
