Story

In 2019, many of us suffered a huge and tragic loss as my best friend, Graham, sadly passed away from a rare strand of meningitis when he was just 20 years old.

It left all of us that knew him absolutely heartbroken. Graham was a great friend to all and someone I personally cherished very deeply as a best friend. 5 years on, I think of him everyday and long to know what he would be up to.

Since Grahams passing, we as a collective have raised so much money for various Meningitis focused charities. He has left such an impact on so many and it makes me so happy to see that his name lives on in so many of us.

In 2019 & 2020, we raised £3400 in grahams name through our joint clothing venture, Induced Euphoria Clo.

In 2021, Grahams sister and group manages to raise over £21,000 when we ran the Richmond half marathon.

This year, on November 10th, myself and Georgia alongside an incredible group of Grahams family & loved ones will be running the Victoria Park Half on behalf of Graham and Meningitis Research.

Myself and Georgia have been training hard over the last few months with a lot more training to come as we enter Autumn, so any donations in honour of Graham and for Meningitis Research would be really appreciated 💜
