Sarah Francis, 23, from Bexley, is going to be taking on Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro with fellow students of Loughborough University, where she is studying for a Fine Arts History Degree, to raise money for Meningitis Research. she has been working tirelessly to raise the sponsorship money with targeted campaigns, boot fairs, fundraising days and so far has raised 60% of her target.

Meningitis is deadly; killing and seriously disabling in hours. Small children and young adults are high risk, but all ages can be affected. Globally 1,000 people die daily. We fundraise to invest in research, campaign for vaccines, provide symptom information and support those already affected.

Sarah has just 4 weeks to raise just over £700 before August 12th. ANY SUPPORT WOULD BE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED. Donating is really easy, either visit this link https://www.justgiving.com/Sarah-Francis-Kilimanjaro/ or you can text donate by sending the code SFMK97 followed by either £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.
