WE would like to invite Crediton Courier readers to join in Meningitis Now’s new virtual event and tell meningitis to jog on – helping to save lives and rebuild futures along the way.

Jog on Meningitis is a simple concept that anyone can get involved with. All you need to do is pledge to run, jog or walk 50km over 50 days and raise £50, at your own pace and in your own way. It’s that simple.

Every step will help us to fight meningitis and move us closer to our vision of a future where no-one in the UK dies from this disease and everyone affected gets the support they need.

If you know someone who’s had meningitis this is a perfect way for you to show them your support.

And to say thank you for taking part we’ll send you a shiny medal to reward your efforts too.

Despite developments in vaccines, meningitis and septicaemia continue to affect thousands every year and kill more under-five’s than any other infectious disease.

So, why not lace up your trainers, tell meningitis to jog on and help us fight back on all fronts by funding research to eradicate the disease, raising awareness and supporting survivors.
