Story

My son was 3 days old when he contracted a rare form of meningitis, which caused him to develop brain abscesses. The ensuing 6 weeks as an inpatient and 3 years as an outpatient were full of challenges, but he was incredibly lucky and finally discharged. We couldn't be more grateful for the love and care we received during this time; and the swift action which meant he had the best chances. 

So much work still needs to be done to manage and hopefully eradicate meningitis and septicaemia, so any donation will make a massive difference. 

Thank you x

Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.
