A Life for a Cure
Why we need your help
WELCOME TO RYAN’S NEXT CHAPTER…
Ryan Bresnahan, our amazing son and brother, died very suddenly on 31 March 2010 of Meningitis B. He was a fit, healthy, caring, funny, gorgeous young man; he simply took our breath away. We lost him within an hour – we had no time to say goodbye.
‘a Life for a Cure’ was founded as both a legacy to Ryan and to help raise valuable funds in search of the ultimate vaccine and making others aware of how meningitis can affect young adults. This Bristol charity run purely on a voluntary basis is simply about working together to stop other amazing young lives being lost to meningitis. Some good must come from losing Ryan.
Huge thanks for your support x

I work for SunLife and we did a charity lottery which I won which meant I was able to chose a charity to put the proceeds to. My boyfriend suggested this charity as he went to school with Ryan and I thought it was a good cause.
