Be a Meningitis Musketeer (From Kidderminster Shuttle)

Be a Meningitis Musketeer

4:50pm Saturday 28th April 2012 in Letters

I am inviting your fitness-minded readers in Kidderminster to soak up the electric atmosphere of the Great North Run in support of Meningitis UK.

More than 50,000 runners will gather in Newcastle on September 16 for the world’s most popular half-marathon.

By pounding the pavements for our charity, runners would be helping us to achieve our ultimate goal of stamping out meningitis for good.

Meningitis UK is focused on funding pioneering research to develop preventative vaccines to protect future generations.

We are offering 35 Golden Bond places to people interested in supporting the fight against a disease which shatters lives, affecting 3,400 people a year in the UK.

Those who want to be a part of this legendary run will receive one of our 'Meningitis Musketeers' vests, an inspiring fundraising pack and lots of moral support while you train and on the day from our team.

For more information about how to claim your Golden Bond place, please call me on 0117 303 33 43 or email lizgough@meningitisuk.org.
