Anyone of any age can get meningitis and septicaemia - one in 10 people who get meningitis will die and two in 10 will be left with an impairment. The Meningitis Research Foundation is working towards a world free of these diseases through research and supports those already affected.
Of money you raise, £25 can help fund an hour of vital research or £50 can help run a phone triage system in 10 clinics across Malawi.
