Kilimanjaro Trek to Help Defeat Meningitis by 2030. 

Thank you for looking at my page!

In June 2022, I'll be taking on the challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation. 
Kilimanjaro is the worlds tallest freestanding mountain, its peak sitting at 5895m above sea level.

Meningitis Research Foundation: a charity which aims to research and raise awareness of two serious diseases, Meningitis and Septicaemia. 

The money donated will be given to the Meningitis Research Foundation to support their goal of Defeating Meningitis by 2030. 

What is Meningitis?
Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. If not treated quickly, it can be deadly.  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. 

Meningitis Research Foundation
Meningitis Research Foundation's 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, you can do this today by donating using the give now button.

I would be extremely grateful for any donation to help hit my target!

Thank you!
