Story

Hello Everyone

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In April 2019, I will be running my first London Marathon on behalf of Meningitis Research Foundation, a charity that is very close to the heart of my family. 

In October 2001, Daniel Bruce, my sister’s fiancée, aged just 25 passed away from Meningitis after a very short time of being unwell. I was only 7 when he passed away so now, as I approach 25 myself it is my time to give back to this charity in his memory. 

Thank you again for donating anything you can, every penny counts and I am truly grateful for it! I am looking forward to the challenge and hope to see some happy familiar faces along the way!

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.
