Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Five Valleys Walk.
This year marks 40 years of Meningitis Now and the 39th Five Valleys Walk. An amazing 1,478 walkers and 151 dogs took on the 21-mile route, and 109 walkers and 8 dogs took part in the brand new 5k route!
We had record number of participants complete the 21-miles, with over 1,000 medals given out on the day.
So far, the event has raised an amazing £43,276 (and counting!)
Thank you to all of our staff and volunteers who spent the day working at the various checkpoints along the route.
A huge thank you to all our partners for the event.
