Description

Peter and Helen Rowlands' lives have been impacted by meningitis not just once, but twice. Their son Gareth died from meningococcal septicaemia at 16 years of age while living at boarding school in the UK, leaving the family totally devastated. After moving to New Zealand, they faced this terrible disease again when their daughter Sian was diagnosed with viral meningitis in 2017 at the age of 32. They talk openly about Gareth, their own experiences in coping with his death, what they have learnt along the way, and their tireless work to raise public awareness of meningitis.
