This World Meningitis Day, Meningitis Now are collaborating with GWR to light the tracks ahead – to a future where nobody in the UK dies of meningitis and all those affected get the support they need to rebuild their lives.
By raising funds and awareness at train stations across the GWR line and inviting those affected by meningitis to share their stories, we’re saving lives and rebuilding futures this World Meningitis Day.
A special train will be travelling from Cheltenham Spa to London Paddington. On board are a group of incredible Meningitis Now supporters who will be sharing their stories to help us save lives and rebuild futures this World Meningitis Day.
And our amazing volunteers will be raising funds and awareness at train stations across the GWR line from Cheltenham to London.
We would like to say a huge thank you to GWR and Network Rail for their fantastic support.
GWR and Meningitis Now: keeping the fight against meningitis on track
Join us at 8:30pm on Saturday 5 October in remembering all those whose lives have been changed forever by meningitis and remain committed to the fight against this devastating disease.
Light a candle, turn on fairy lights or whatever you have to illuminate the sky, and we’ll share on your light if you tag us on social media using @meningitis_now.
