Students Against Meningitis

Hi! I’m Jenny and I am the Student Team Manager at MRF.

I had the time of my life climbing Kilimanjaro as a Fresher for MRF, and since then have been hooked on student fundraising. I was elected onto the Birmingham Carnival Rag committee and decided that at the end of uni I wasn’t ready to give it up, so went on to join the MRF student team! Seeing students challenge themselves, innovate brand new fundraising events, and create friendships of a lifetime is why I love working with students.

Hi! I’m Lauren and I’m part of the Student Team. I did a challenge every year that I was at uni – Machu Picchu, Morocco High Atlas Trek, and then Machu Picchu AGAIN as a Challenge Leader. I raised over £5,000 in total in order to take part in these, so I have loads of experience of student fundraising!

I loved these challenges so much that it inspired me to pursue a career in student fundraising. I started at MRF in September 2017 shortly after graduating from Exeter University, and have loved every moment! I genuinely believe that these challenges are the best thing you will EVER do whilst at university, and so love going out to universities and inspiring students across the country to sign up for the trip of a lifetime, and helping them to raise loads of money for an incredible cause!

Hi I’m Hattie,

I am super excited to be a full time member of the MRF Student Team and to be part of some incredible projects! Working in student fundraising is very exciting and offers so much variety. My role ranges from organising student fundraising activities such as the student raffle and street collections to communicating with students on a regular basis to ensure they reach their fundraising goals. It is extremely rewarding supporting students reach their targets and seeing how dedicated they are to such an amazing cause.

Hi I’m Konna, and I’m part of the Student Team!

After spontaneously signing up to be a Kilimanjaro Leader at Plymouth University, I instantly fell in love with RAG, MRF and the wider student adventures community. Since then, I have helped raise thousands for MRF and been volunteering at events, adventures, our infamous London Loot and training days to help as many students discover the amazing experiences I was lucky enough to find.

I am now here as a full time member of staff looking after multiple universities and challenges across the UK and world.
