The Mumsnet Christmas Appeal: let’s raise some money for the Meningitis Research Foundation in honour of CatThiefKeith

Hello all,

A merry December 1 to you all: to kick off the Christmas season (sorry but there’s just no avoiding it any longer) we’re pleased to announce the launch of this year’s Mumsnet Christmas fundraiser.

As some of you will hopefully remember, last Christmas you all raised money for Women’s Aid and Refuge, and we at MNHQ doubled the donations.

This year we’ll be raising money for the Meningitis Research Foundation, in honour of CatThiefKeith, a huge character much beloved of her fellow MNers (and of MNHQ), who died suddenly earlier this year.

As with last year’s appeal, we’ll double donations up to £10,000.

We know this is an expensive time of year, but any donation at all will be greatly appreciated and WILL make a difference.

Please have a look at this page for more information about the Meningitis Research Foundation and what they do.

We’ll keep you updated with running totals and we’ll also host a guest post from MRF.

Please click here to donate if you can. We’re looking forward to helping MRF this Christmas and we’re especially happy we can do so in CTK’s honour.

Thanks for reading everyone - wishing you all a happy and peaceful Christmas.

Thanks Xmas Smile
Justine

Donated - CatThiefKeith was one of the first posters I really noticed when I joined, and I was sad to hear what happened to her.
