My Dad and I have this mad desire/personal challenge to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats!  (8th - 20th May 2011).  Whilst we are taking on this once in a lifetime feat we are going to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation.  This charity’s aims are to raise awareness of meningitis and septicaemia, provide support for those who have suffered, and monies raised also goes towards funding research into the search for vaccines.

 

Raising money for this charity has a strong place in my heart - I suffered from viral meningitis at the age of 26, in the middle of summer… I was ‘lucky’, in that I made a full recovery after about 1 month.  Others are not always so fortunate, suffering from after-effects, or worse still, suffering from life changing disabilities, and sometimes death.  Many people do not realise that meningitis and septicaemia can strike anyone, at any age, at any time of year, and yet are not aware of the symptoms.  Meningitis can kill in hours.

 

Raising awareness is so important, and every donation, no matter how much, will help go towards funding this much needed research into finding vaccines, and raising awareness so that symptoms can be identified before it’s too late.

 

Thank you so much for all your support!  Anything you can give is very much appreciated! xx
