A long-standing idea has finally come to fruition. It seems a fantastic time to kickstart my fundraising and awareness with an online platform from which to publicise what I'm doing, and why.
So.... what is my goal?
-To stamp out meningitis
-To get the Meningitis B vaccine that has so long been searched for, put into the immunisation schedule in the UK. If I had had this as a toddler, I wouldn't have had meningitis. Nearly 700 cases could have been prevented since the vaccine was found... wake up people!
-For people to become more aware and educated about how vulnerable EVERYONE is.
-To raise £1800- or as much money as possible! By running the London Marathon for Meningitis Now; a very personal goal of mine.
I hope that in this way, I can continue to fulfill my role as a Community Ambassador for Meningitis Now, not least because I am a teacher, and I know first hand how susceptible young people can be to this dreadful disease.
