Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Three years ago I ran my first half-marathon.

A few weeks later I fell very ill. I could not sit up or walk. The pain was excruciating.

It turned out to be meningitis. Now, three years on, I am lucky to have fully recovered, but the process was painfully slow and full of setbacks. Meningitis NOW offered me advice and support when I most needed it.

I want to say thanks by raising money to support their work, training to run the Winchester Half. Hope you can help, every donation, however big or small, will support this worthy charity. Thank you!
