Steve and Gloria lost their child Spencer to meningitis.

Since then they have dedicated themselves to stopping people going through what they suffered. They have raised awareness of the disease, funded research, and supported families affected by the disease.

Their hard work helped to create Meningitis Now. This is their story.

After a night out with friends Nick started to feel ill. Thinking it was only a hangover or a cold he continued with his plans. Very quickly he realised he was seriously ill.

Nick shared his story with us, his difficult journey home, finding out it wasn't a hang over and how easily things could have gotten much worse.

Nick's message is clear. If you're feeling ill and things are getting worse, don't worry about bothering people and let a healthcare provider know.
