Welcome to Limerick climbs Kilimanjaro campaign! These incredible students are taking on the challenge of a lifetime all whilst helping in the fight against meningitis and septicaemia.

Story

I'm thrilled to be taking part in the "University of Limerick takes on Kilimanjaro 2024" campaign. I'll be trekking up the tallest mountain in Africa in late August with a group of students from the University of Limerick, all organised by Choose a Challenge.

While reaching the summit will be an incredible journey, the main goal is to raise money and awareness for the Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF.) Meningitis and septicaemia are devastating diseases for both victims and their relatives, so I am proud to support MRF, who are working with the World Health Organisation and leading experts to tackle meningitis globally and defeat the disease by 2030.

My goal is to raise €5,500 for MRF before the trek. Every donation big or small is much appreciated and will go towards funding vital research and support services for those affected by meningitis and septicaemia. I'll be keeping this page up to date with updates on fundraising events etc. throughout the year. Thank you!
