Students Against Meningitis

Students Against Meningitis Celebrating our incredible student fundraisers, helping us to defeat meningitis by 2030 💜

https://www.facebook.com/meningitisresearch

If you are a student then meningitis matters to you. There are many ways that you can help meningitis research by fundraising for us through your students union, your RAG society or your halls. You could be climbing to the rooftop of Africa, Kilimanjaro, or picking up a bucket and collecting all across the UK. But it doesn’t stop there – you could organise a hitchhike, run to Paris or jump out of a plane. We have been working with students for 25 years, putting on fundraisers and raising awareness about meningitis amongst a key group. With three full time student fundraisers and a wealth of knowledge and resources, we are here to support you in supporting us.

Once you're all signed up and have claimed your JustGiving page on your Choose a Challenge portal, it's time to make it your own!💜

Pages that are personal, informative and up-to-date will be far more attractive to your supporters than a blank canvas. Here are some tips and tricks for maximising your fundraising through your JustGiving page.

The good news is, most of them will take you no time at all, so save this post to come back to when you have a spare 10 mins to give your page a boost🔥

We were incredibly lucky to have gold medal winning GB Paralympian, and the first disabled person to climb Kilimanjaro unassisted, Aaron Phipps join us at our training day the other week. Aaron came to share his story to inspire and spur on our Challenge Leaders for the challenge they're taking on.

Listening to his story was incredibly moving and was an absolute highlight of the day.

During her first year at university, Lisa was diagnosed with Meningitis B. She initially put her symptoms down to usual aches and pains from training, but it soon became clear that something far more serious was happening.

After spending time in hospital, Lisa thankfully recovered. But the lasting effects of meningitis meant that life looked very different for her afterwards.

Determined to turn her experience into action, Lisa returned to university and, during her final year of studies, climbed Kilimanjaro to raise funds for Meningitis Research Foundation. In doing so, she became part of the growing movement of students helping to close the gap in protection for young people.

That’s why your support is so important. Thank you for taking on these incredible challenges and helping us move closer towards defeating meningitis💜
