I am looking forward to continuing to support this wonderful charity and to continue to educate as many people as possible about the signs and symptoms of meningitis

I was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis in January 2010 at the age of 32.

I spent a week in hospital receiving treatment, a further two weeks at home receiving antibiotic treatment with the District Nursing Team and a further eight weeks at home recuperating.

My lasting effects are occasional severe headaches, so I count myself extremely lucky indeed as I know many others are not as fortunate. I am looking forward to continuing to support this wonderful charity and to continue to educate as many people as possible about the signs and symptoms of meningitis and how it can strike anyone, of any age and at any time.

I lost my husband, Kevin, to meningococcal septicaemia in January 2000, just five hours after being admitted to hospital. I have been supported by Meningitis Now ever since.

In December 2010, I thought I was coming down with a cold. On December 21, I went to bed early and in the early hours of the morning I was vomiting, had diarrhoea, felt cold and had muscle and joint pain.
