Listen and Learn from Harmonie-Rose on World Meningitis Day

Harmonie-Rose Allen is helping to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of meningitis on World Meningitis Day.

The four-year-old from Bath, contracted meningitis when she was 10 months old, and sadly lost all four limbs to the disease.

However, she hasn’t let her tough start in life dampen her spirit, as she confidently stars in Meningitis Now’s new awareness video.

Harmonie-Rose can be seen introducing herself and listing the signs and symptoms of meningitis, before stardom gets too much and she needs to have a little lie down!

The video aims to inform everyone of the signs and symptoms of meningitis, whilst also reminding people of Harmonie’s story.

The star of our video shows that meningitis can be beaten and despite living with the after effects of the disease, a fun and fulfilling life can be had.

Brimming with confidence, Harmonie-Rose shines in front of the camera and is clearly in control of and loving every moment – until she gets tired of course!

Learning the signs and symptoms of meningitis is one of the best ways you can protect your family and yourself from the disease.

On World Meningitis Day, why not watch our new video, listen and learn from Harmonie-Rose, and take a positive step towards protecting your loved ones from this indiscriminate disease.
