This year, we’re walking 50 kilometres to raise money for more research into meningitis. As Team MYAngel, we’re fully committed to this cause.

Our daughter Mya was struck down by the terrible disease meningitis at the age of 9 months. Mya was a healthy, sweet, and cheerful girl, full of life and always with a smile. A child with a whole life ahead of her….

The illness wasn't recognised in time because Mya didn't have clear, general symptoms that immediately pointed to meningitis. This is precisely what makes the disease so insidious and dangerous. What started as seemingly nothing special turned into our worst nightmare.

The lack of recognisable signs has led to her life being taken. This makes it painfully clear to us how much more research, knowledge and awareness are needed!

That's why we walk.
That's why we are committed.
Because this could happen to anyone.

For Mya. 💛
For all children.
For a future without meningitis.
