Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

On 23rd May 2010 I shall be attempting the gruelling challenge of a 26 mile run through the streets of Edinburgh in aid of Meningitis U.K.

 

1 in 10 victims of meningitis are killed, and 1 in 7 of those who survive are left with a permanent disability such as loss of limbs/blindness/deafness/brain damage. There is already a vaccine for meningitis C but Meningitis is running a campaign to find a vaccine for meningitis B which causes 90% of meningitis cases in the . To find out more about the work the charity do, have a look at: www.meningitisuk.org

All amounts really appreciated. Your support will be the driving force to encourage me out into the dark nights and wet weather to train my legs and mind to take on this challenge!

 

"It's not what we get, but who we become, what we contribute...that gives meaning to our lives"
