CHARITY OF THE WEEK

Meningitis Research Foundation

-

Meningitis is the swelling of lining around the brain and spinal cord, caused mainly by germs entering the body. Septicaemi­a is blood poisoning caused by the same germs that can cause meningitis. They can both kill in hours.

This UK, Irish and internatio­nal charity brings together people and expertise to defeat both. Its vision is of a world free from meningitis and septicaemi­a, where vaccinatio­ns can protect everyone. Where people who do get the diseases get the most effective diagnosis and treatments possible. And where people affected and their families have the best support and informatio­n.
