Charlotte Heath's baby, Aimee, survived group B Strep meningitis and now had multiple disabilities. Like me, Charlotte wants every pregnant woman to be told about group B Strep and offered a test.
So many people are affected by group B Strep infection - not just the babies themselves and also their parents, but also their sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends. Too often, they know nothing of GBS until it strikes - and they can't quite believe that most of these devastating infections could be prevented for the sake of a test that would cost the NHS £11.
Would you help this petition reach many more people? If everyone chipped in just a little, it would make a huge difference - https://www.change.org/p/nhs-provide-tests-for-group-b-strep-to-prevent-any-more-avoidable-deaths-of-newborn-babies/sponsors/new?source_location=petitions_show.
Will you donate whatever you can afford, please? And will you also please keep sharing :)
Thanks,
Fiona
