SIR – There’s still time for your readers to join charity Meningitis Now on an exhilarating adventure to climb eight Lake District peaks and help conquer meningitis. But hurry, places are going fast. As an incentive to sign up, we’ve reduced the minimum pledge from £600 to £480.

All proceeds go towards Meningitis Now’s work on vaccine and preventative research, raising awareness and supporting individuals and families fighting back from the disease. Meningitis is a devastating disease that can kill in hours and leave survivors struggling with life-changing disabilities. Taking part in events like this really does make a difference to those who need our help. We’d love you to join us. Visit www.meningitisnow.org/events, email trekking@meningitisnow.org or phone 0845 120 4530.
