Hi there.

Meningitis and septicaemia in babies under one is the theme for our Awareness Week (September 21 – 27), and it will also feature our new research project which looks at improving the outcome for newborn babies with bacterial meningitis.

With swine flu so much in the news, the Foundation issued a warning not to be complacent about meningitis and septicaemia as the diseases have similar early symptoms.

We feel your pain, or more precisely Caitlin Dula from our Scotland office feels your pain.

We don’t mean to depress you, but this could be your last chance to parachute for the Foundation before the weather closes in this year. Or why not cheer yourself up by thinking about next spring and viewing the Great British countryside from a height of 20,000? All proceeds from your jump will go towards funding vital research to tackle meningitis and septicaemia.

We need Santa Clauses for MRF's causes! Join 1,000 Santas this Christmas in Greenwich Park, London on Sunday 6 December and help the fight against meningitis and septicaemia.
