The man who lost his baby 40 years ago and decided to change the world

One of the biggest charity events in Bristol in 2022 is to take place in November, to mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of a meningitis charity set up by the grieving father who lost his baby to the virus.

For 40 years, Steve Dayman has dedicated his life to raising money for research into meningitis, which took the life of his young son Spencer back in 1982.

Since then, and after countless fundraisers, walks, events, dinners, sponsored trials and auctions, Steve has raised millions and the charity he set up has become one of the biggest meningitis research charities in the country.
