We are urging people to blaze through the beautiful Bristol 10k to help beat meningitis.
Runners will join Meningitis Now’s team for the popular race that passes iconic landmarks such as the harbour, SS Great Britain, and twice under Brunel’s historic suspension bridge, on Sunday, May 11.
Full support will be given and everyone will receive a free running vest or T-shirt, and handy information pack including tips on how to prepare.
Meningitis Now, formed after Bristol-based Meningitis UK and Stroud-based Meningitis Trust, the founders of the meningitis movement in the UK, united in 2013.
The charity, which has almost 30 years’ experience, exists to save lives and rebuild futures by funding research, raising awareness and providing support.
Our vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.
To run to help us achieve our vision, call me on (01453) 768000 or email emmak@meningitisnow.org.
Emma King, Regional events fundraiser, Meningitis Now.
