Story

Hey Guys!!

Next August 2024, I will set out to summit Mt Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest free standing mountain. I will do this in aid of the Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF). The prospect of this climb for MRF fills me with both excitement and purpose.

Bacterial meningitis is one of the largest killers in the world and affects more than 2.5m people globally each year. The MRF are working hard towards a world free from meningitis and septicaemia.

In order to achieve this vision, some goals they have are to enable research for better policy and evidence, to transform public engagement in meningitis and to secure the funds to deliver their goals.

My aim is to raise both awareness and vital funds to support research into this devastating disease.

I am so grateful for this opportunity & more excited for the adventure to come.

Any donations make a difference!

Thank you, Ali xx
