We would like to ask anyone who is bravely taking part in this year's Flora London Marathon, if they would like to run for us.
Meningitis UK is a charity which represents hundreds of families who have suffered the devastating consequences of meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia.
The charity has a single focus - to find a vaccine to eradicate all forms of meningitis. Sadly, although successful vaccines exist to protect against some forms, there is still no vaccine available to protect against all strains, including the most common form in the UK - meningococcal group B, which accounts for almost 90% of all cases. Through dogged persistent research and with the support of the general public, we are confident that new vaccines can be developed.
If you would like to join our team in the Flora London Marathon to support our search for a vaccine to eradicate meningitis, please contact Emily on 0117 373 7373 or email emilyknight@meningitisUK.org We will support you every step of the way, and will provide you with training and fundraising advice, a microfibre running vest or t-shirt, plus heaps of encouragement!
EMILY KNIGHT, community fundraising officer, Meningitis UK
