Valerie called our helpline when her son, Oscar, contracted meningococcal meningitis.
'The staff on the helpline listened to how I was feeling and talked me through meningitis so I could understand. I was told about the other help available and I was sent information. I know I can call the helpline anytime if I need further help.'
