Please sponsor me,in memory of my brother,for Meningitis Trust

Options
In 1997 my younger brother(he was just 16) died suddenly from Meningitis C. It was the worst Day of my life,and there will always be an empty space in my life,which can never be filled.
Since his death,I have intended to some sort of fundraising for a Meningitis charity ( since then I have had three children,so it's kept getting put off).
When I found out the Meningitis trust was planning to do a charity abseil and zip wire event at Hillsborough football ground,on the 7th of october,I felt I really had to take part.My brother was a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder,and the 7th of October will be the ninth anniversaty of the day he died.
I would really like to raise as much as possible, in memory of my brother.
I have set up a fundraising page on the just giving site,if anyone would be kind enough to sponsor me ,even if it's only for a pound,or more if your feeling generous! I would really appreciate it.(I am also collecting personnally,from friends and family who live near).
It is really easy to donate through this site just click on the link.

I remember when he died,his school friends wrote their memories of him,two which I recall were "I remember when Dougie cooked my shoes in the cooking class !" and "I remember when Dougie did roly polys all the way from one lesson to the next!"
So you can see he was a bit of a character! But he was such a good hearted person,and was so full of life.
