Hey there,

My name is Louise, and I really want to open up and share my story with you. It's not an easy one, but I believe it's important to shed light on the challenges that families like mine face when dealing with meningitis.

When I was just 2 years old, my life took an unexpected turn. I was diagnosed with meningitis, and it completely changed everything. I lost both of my legs, one of my arms, and some of my fingers. It was devastating for me and my family - we were all shaken to the core.

But here's the thing: I refuse to let my circumstances define me. I am determined to show the world that I am so much more than my physical limitations. That's why myself and Sadie have decided to take on an incredible challenge - climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales.

Now, this climb isn't just about ticking something off my bucket list or proving something to myself. It's about representing the struggles that families like mine face every single day. It's about pushing through the obstacles and proving that nothing can hold us back.

But here's where I need your help. I can't do this alone. By sponsoring me on this extraordinary journey, you will not only help me achieve my personal goal but also make a true difference in the work of Meningitis Now, a charity that provides essential support to individuals and families impacted by meningitis.

Your support means the world to me, but it also means so much to those who need it most. By contributing, you'll enable Meningitis Now to continue their incredibly important work, offering assistance, information, and care to those who are going through the same tough journey I did.

Together, with your backing, we can make sure that no other child or family has to endure the pain and heartbreak caused by meningitis. We can bring hope, support, and a sense of community to those who need it most.

Each step I take up Mount Snowdon represents my determination and strength to rise above adversity. And I want to share that determination with others, to inspire them to keep going no matter what challenges they face.

So, will you join me on this incredible journey? Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by this devastating disease. Let's come together, climb mountains, and show the world that together, we are unstoppable.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a crucial part of my journey and supporting this cause.

With gratitude,

Louise
