Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My sister, Hollie, and I are participating in the Edinburgh Half Marathon on Sunday, 29th May 2022, in memory of our big sister, Shelley who sadly passed away as a baby due to meningococcal meningitis. 

Between us both, we are hoping to raise £1000.00 for Meningitis Research Foundation.

The goals of Meningitis Research Foundation are: 

- to see fewer people get meningitis and septicemia;

- to see more people survive with a better quality of life and reduced disability;

- to have more engaged, informed and supported patients and communities.

The charity plays a key role in making this happen in the UK, Ireland and around the world by funding vital research, advocating for change as a dedicated champion for those it affects, and taking action that benefits people, including running awareness campaigns, training health professionals and providing support and information

For years we have said we are going to do this, and now we finally are! So please help to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity who do so much for those affected and their families. 

Any donation at all would go a long way for Meningitis Research Foundation and the vital work they do.

A massive thank you to everyone who is supporting us!
