Hello,

Two years ago I signed up to the Three peaks challenge to raise money for Meningitis Now, but unfortunately this had to be postponed due to the pandemic. It is now finally going ahead (yay! 🙌). So in 3 weeks time I will be hiking 3 peaks in 36 hours!

I am taking on this challenge in my dad's memory. When I was four years old my dad lost his life after contracting Meningococcal, which is a bacterial form of Meningitis. This had a huge impact on my family, especially my mum, who had to go through this with 2 small children at just 20 years of age. There was little information and support offered at the time, so I hope by raising money for Meningitis Now, people become more aware of the symptoms and further research can be carried out to prevent the disease from taking any more lives.

I know that this will be tough! Hiking over three mountains without sleep sounds very challenging, but I will be hiking for a purpose; to help those affected in some way by Meningitis as well as doing it with my own family in mind. So please help me to hit my £500 target!

The money raised will go to a fantastic charity that fund research, provide support and work hard to raise the public's awareness of the disease. I hope you can show your support by donating anything you can afford.

Thank you for taking time to read my story. I appreciate all of the donations and support.
