Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

22 years ago at the age of 18, my sister Lisa was taken from us after just a few hours of contracting the deadly disease Meningitis Septicaemia.  Lisa was a vibrant, caring and funny young lady, and sadly her life was only just beginning. The death of my sister was the last case of Meningitis in my household after several other cases of mild to serious levels of Meningitis had occurred, and on 3 occasions to her non-identical twin Ciara. 

Meningitis Septicaemia needs more awareness to help people quickly diagnose the early signs of the deadly disease. It truly is a "Race against time" and one that can be treated if you can seek help at the right time. Visit www.meningitis.org for more information on the symptoms.

Thank you in advance for your generous donations

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.
