My beautiful grandson Charlie should be celebrating turning 16 today. Tragically, he died from Bacterial Meningitis shortly after this was taken. Today there are vaccines that can protect us, notably for Men B, now on NHS for late teens. Protect your family @MeningitisNow
Big shoutout to @ProfBrianCox for being such an inspiration to our family. Son just achieved his D:Ream to study Theoretical Physics at Manchester Uni and my wife’s been celebrating by listening to D:Ream on repeat all morning! #URTheBestThing
Martin & Shauna made a presentation last night to volunteer Bella Newey from @MeningitisNow The amount is the total banked over the years from fundraising at the pub in memory of little Charlie Mann, Bella’s cousin. Fantastic effort from everyone. Next year let’s reach £25k!

@ChrisHu99082309@ianwatkinson49@MeningitisNow Oh wow I’m so sorry you’ve been going through all that Chris. It really does put everything in perspective and I’m sure you’re living your retirement to the fullest. We’re ok, kids growing up far too fast and keeping us busy. Never a dull moment! Take care and keep in touch xx
