On Sunday August 5th 2018, Grape Escape Wine Tours will be hosting a very special Afternoon Bicycle Tour.  All proceeds will be donated to Meningitis Now UK, whose vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives.  This charity has been a great support to our family who sadly lost a beautiful little girl Lily in November of 2017.  Her parents and family are currently petitioning for the meningitis vaccination age to be lowered in the UK, and also to increase awareness and knowledge of symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia.  This condition does not discriminate, and can affect everyone, both young and old across the world!  Being vigilant and getting medical help quickly can save lives.

We would love for you to join us to celebrate Lily's life and to help increase awareness of this condition, while at the same time contributing to a wonderful cause.

If you are unable to join us on this day, you can still contribute to the cause by contacting us here at Grape Escape Wine Tours, and we can let you know how you can help.

Please take a look at the Meningitis Now Website for lots of information on how they help and support people, and for lots of information on the symptoms and things to look out for.
