Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

As most will probably know Courtney (Kerry's son) contracted meningococcal septicimia in 2004 which left him with amputations to both lower limbs & to date he still cannot walk. There is still no vaccine for this strain of the disease in the uk & the foundation need the money for the continued research into such. The disease can kill within hours and once contracted once does not make you immune a second time so the foundation are always looking for that little bit of extra money to continue their work in trying to fight this disease and in particular memingococcal.
