Meningitis and Septicaemia are serious diseases. The symptoms can be difficult to recognise at first.
They can appear in any order or some may not appear at all.
If you suspect meningitis - Trust your instincts - and seek medical help immediately !

Liam Cullinane and Siobhán Carroll are two of the most inspirational people I know.
They've both given hope to others after experiencing tragic loss in their lives.
