Gill says, “I chose the Meningitis Research Foundation as my charity as they are making great strides in overcoming Meningitis and septicaemia which can kill in hours.

People who recover may be left with permanent disabilities or a range of after-effects that dramatically alter their lives, especially small children who have to cope with life after sometimes losing limbs and as a mother and grandmother I can’t imagine how difficult that must be to live with.

“The Foundation funds research to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, and to improve survival rates and outcomes.

They have made great advances in promoting the awareness of symptoms, better understanding of treatment, and above all, the possibility of prevention through vaccination, all these are now very much in evidence and I think it is important to help the Foundation whose vision is a world free from meningitis and septicaemia.”
