As of writing, in February, I am 16 years old and use running as a way to establish a healthy work-life balance.

More importantly, I'll be raising money for Meningitis Now, a charity which researches, supports, campaigns and raises awareness for meningitis and those affected by it. Until recently, I was largely unaware of meningitis until one of our influential members at the golf club was largely affected by meningitis. Moreover, following an online course I did on meningitis recently as part of an extra curricular for medical school, it was there I learned just how much impact meningitis has on so many people and the need to develop understanding and acknowledge said impact.

If you're able to donate, it would mean so much to so many people: Me, Meningitis Now and most importantly, those affected by Meningitis, because the work MN does to better the lives of those living with meningitis relies on the donations of people like you.

Thank you.
