Congratulations to our founder Steve Dayman who has recently completed his 34th and final long-distance walk
Steve, 68, started the 201-mile walk in Londonderry, arriving in Rostrevor eight days later. The miles he walked add to the 12,000 he’s already covered for us over the years since he launched Meningitis Now and the money raised adds to the £2 million he’d previously raised from walks alone in that time – an amazing achievement!
Steve told us: “This walk may have been my last long-distance walk, but that doesn’t mean the scourge of meningitis is beaten yet. Every year thousands more lives are impacted by this devastating disease and the fight against it is far from over – to think so just puts lives at risk.”
And it won’t be Steve’s last visit to Northern Ireland either.
“I will continue to visit Northern Ireland on a regular basis to meet families affected by meningitis, raise awareness and attend events organised by our supporters,” he said.
“We will continue to save lives and prevent disability through our work and I would like to hear from families in Northern Ireland who have experienced meningitis and could help us continue our journey.”
