Hi there.

Young Katelyn McGrotty from West Lothian was among the many Members who helped make Meningitis in Babies Awareness Week such a success in Scotland.

Katelyn, who developed meningococcal septicaemia when she was just four months old, and her family met with Sarah Boyack MSP to launch the start of Meningitis in Babies Awareness Week.

While our Awareness Week has focused on meningits in babies, our on-site blog is currently running an interesting discussion about meningitis in adults

We’ve also got thoughts on running and fundraising for the Foundation and we’d love to hear what’s on your mind

    Volunteers sought

We desperately need some kind souls to collect for an hour or so in Aberdeen on October 24 and at Hearts’ football ground in Edinburgh on 30 December. Street collections really do help our income considerably and can also be lots of fun! Fancy dress is welcome, why not celebrate Halloween in Aberdeen early?

If you can help, please contact Dawn Carrie

 

 
    Long way down

Everyone had a great time at our Braehead Bungee Jump and Falkirk Wheel abseils in September.

If you have a similar spirit of adventure, then there’s a 165ft abseil coming up on Saturday 11 October from the Forth Rail Bridge.

Email Alison for more details or give her a ring on 0131 510 2345.
