Earlier this year MRSA Action UK met the family and friends of Sammie Fallon. Sam was diagnosed with MRSA after a bone marrow sample was taken from her hip, and tragically died aged just 17 years old. Sammie's friend Jade organised a fundraising event in memory of Sammie.
Jade is pictured below (centre) with friends and family, including Sammie's mum Sue. The day was a great success and a lovely way to pay tribute to Sammie. The event's on the day raised 370 pounds and there is also around 1,000 pounds in sponsorship still to come. MRSA Action UK would like to thank Jade and everyone who took part in the day and for the generous donations made to the Charity.
