In April 2022 I will be taking part in the DARE challenge sledding 240km across the Arctic Circle in 5 days in aid of Meningitis Research Foundation. 

Meningitis Research Foundation is a leading UK, Irish and international charity that brings together people and expertise to defeat meningitis and septicaemia wherever it exists. Their vision is a world free from meningitis and septicaemia where effective vaccinations can protect everyone. Shockingly, meningitis and neonatal sepsis are the second biggest infectious killer of children under the age of five on the planet, affecting more than 5 million people every year. The diseases can kill within 12 hours and are responsible for more deaths of children under 5 than malaria, measles, tetanus and AIDS combined.

The Meningitis Research Foundation aims to provide better access to vaccines, build health systems that can diagnose and treat children, and give support to survivors of meningitis. Thanks to your support, they have pioneered a global roadmap, bringing together global expertise to defeat meningitis by 2030.

Thank you!
