Story
We're raising money for Group B Strep Support (GBSS), because our eldest was born with GBS meningitis, and I had to have antibiotics when I was in labour with my other 2 children. It's such a scary time when your family is affected by GBS, and I know there's been more about this awful infection in the media over the past couple of years. 💙🐝💛
Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection -one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities physical, mental or both.Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep Support informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
