In June 2020 I will be undertaking a Three Peak Challenge to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF). What is the three peak challenge you ask? It’s hiking to the summits of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 36 hours. For anyone who really knows me is probably thinking "...Sophie... Climbing the three peaks?!" as I'm not exactly at the peak of fitness! So this is a huge physical challenge for me and a great way to raise money for MRF.

If you'd like to get on board, even if it is just to laugh at me struggle my way up some mountains, please donate by clicking the donate button on my just giving page.

For every £1 donated, you can choose a song for me to listen to on the climb. Just pop the name of the song and the artist in the message when you donate, and I’ll add it to the playlist. Even if it's 4 hours of Thomas the Tank engine or something similar!

Meningitis Research Foundation is a charity which aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia. Shockingly, meningitis and neonatal sepsis are the second biggest infectious killer of children under the age of five on the planet, affecting more than 2.8 million people every year! They can kill you within 12 hours and are responsible for more deaths of children under 5 than malaria, measles, tetanus and AIDS combined. Which is mad when you think about it like that! Meningitis Research Foundations work is providing better access to vaccines, health systems that can diagnose and treat children, and support to survivors of meningitis. It’s time to make meningitis a global health priority.
