As a family goes, mine has always been incredibly close. I don’t have any siblings, but growing up with my cousins felt like I did. We got together pretty much weekly growing up, all 7 cousins within a 10 year age gap. My cousins are and always will be my siblings!

On 2nd November 2014 our worlds got turned upside down. We found out that my older cousin, Teygan, had died at University at age 19, extremely suddenly. As a family this broke us. We couldn’t bare to be apart for over a year after this news, spending everyday driving 45 minutes just to have dinner together. It changed the direction of all of our lives. He died of Meningococcal Septicaemia (Meningitis). This affects so many attending University, and I personally had never even heard of it, like so many others. A jab can save your life from this.

Please help me raise money, awareness and memory in aid of keeping Teygan alive in our hearts forever.

I do not run, I’m probably the most unfit I’ve ever been in my life. I can even run a mile right now (Monday 28th April 2025), but I want to do this to prove that with the right motivation, anything can be done!

For my family, and any other families who endured this heartbreak. And to stop this happening full stop.
