We’ve done it all…and they even wrote about us in the Stockport Express!!
From concerts, quizzes and fun days, to face painting (I am now an expert at painting tigers & butterflies), balloon launches, even bag packing in supermarkets and walking around with a big yellow duck. And all to support a friend of mine in his bid to raise money for the Meningitis Trust.
In 2000 we nearly lost that friend Martyn to Meningitis. But Martyn was one of the lucky ones.
But this ferocious disease continues to affect thousands of families. The affects of Meningitis are not only through very sudden loss, but also through the devastating after affects such as epilepsy, limb loss and severe mental disability. So Martyn with a bit of help from his friends & family set about raising an amount of money that will make a difference.
And he did! So far we have raised in excess of £7,000! A fantstic amount of money that will help so many people. If you would like to support the trust please visit http://www.justgiving.co.uk/martynsperutrek
Meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning) are not always easy to recognise, and symptoms can appear in any order. Some may not appear at all. In the early stages, the signs and symptoms can be similar to many other more common illnesses.
Be aware! For more information on the signs and symptoms of Meningitis please visit http://www.meningitis-trust.org/
