Funding Research & Raising Awareness of Invasive Group A Strep Infections
The Conor Kerin Memorial Cup was the main fund raising event until 2010.
Held in Marlborough on the Sunday before Conor's birthday, this 5-a-side football tournament was always hotly contested and entertaining, with everyone from the Fire Brigade to British Airways entering teams!
However, with the injury count starting to rise as the regular participants drifted ever further from the heyday of their youth, it was reluctantly decided to make 2010 the final year of competition.
And all present agreed that the final competition was a fitting finale to nearly a decade of football and fundraising that generated over £18,000.
About Us
Our aim is to raise public awareness of invasive Strep A infections - their causes, symptoms and possible outcomes - whilst raising funds to support research into their prevention, diagnosis and cure.
Conor's Fund provides financial support to the Gram Positive Pathogenesis Research Group at Hammersmith Hospital and Imperial College, one of the few research groups in the UK working to combat Strep infections.
If Conor's fund saves one life, it will have been worth it. Please help us to spread awareness & support Strep A research if you can.
