Big Fun Run

Thank you for visiting our Big Fun Run page. We are completely reliant on people like you to continue our work, so we need your help! You may have had, or know someone who has had, meningitis and by taking part in a Big Fun Run on our behalf, you will enable us to be there for people affected by the disease in the future.

The ‘Big Fun Run’ is a growing series of 24 runs being staged across the UK between July and October 2010. The distance of each one is 5km, so are suitable for everyone regardless of fitness levels - the emphasis is on FUN!

To sign up to the run, simply visit the Big Fun run website - www.bigfunrun.com – and select the Meningitis Trust from the list of charities to support. Once you have registered, we will then contact you and send you a FREE Meningitis Trust runners pack which includes:

• A personalised running vest or T-shirt
• A training pack full of dietary information
• Fundraising support and encouragement

All we ask for in return is that you raise a minimum of £50 for the Meningitis Trust. Last year, we had 22 runners who managed to raise over £5,000 for the Trust – this year we hope to double that! These funds have allowed us to provide ongoing practical and emotional support to people whose lives have been devastated by meningitis.

We will be here to support you before, during and after your run.
