WE would like to ask any of your readers who are bravely taking part in next year's Flora London Marathon on April 25 and have an independent place, if they would like to run for Meningitis UK.

Our Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign aims to raise £7-million to fund research into finding a vaccine for meningococcal group B — the most common form of meningitis in the UK. This accounts for almost 90% of all cases and there is currently no vaccine.

Everyone who runs for Meningitis UK will be part of the Meningitis Musketeers team, with the motto 'All 4 One and One 4 All' – to highlight the devastating fact that meningitis can kill in under 4 hours and the importance of our Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign.

Full support will be given and everyone who participates will receive a free Search 4 a Vaccine running vest or T-shirt, and a handy information pack including hints and tips on how to prepare.

If you would like to take part in the Flora London Marathon and help us achieve our vision, please contact Lauren on 0117 302 6191 for a sponsorship pack.
