York Rotary's Nominated Charities for the 2022 event
Antibiotic Research UK

Antibiotics have been an essential part of modern medicine helping us fight infections and allowing us to perform surgeries and treatments for serious
disease safe in the knowledge that we have a line of defence against bacterial infections.
However, antibiotics no longer work as well as they did because bacteria are developing a resistance against them. Annually, antibiotic resistant infections cause 93,000 hospitalisations in the UK alone, and 700,000 deaths globally.
“It took me 8 weeks to improve, I could barely walk at first. I didn’t know that one in three people carry MRSA in their body; nor that very few antibiotics are effective against it.” Tony
Antibiotic Research UK is the world’s first charity dedicated to research and supporting patients affected by antibiotic resistance. We fund research to keep existing antibiotics working, and support patients with reliable information about antibiotic resistance and a friendly ear if they need to chat.
The funds raised at the Dragon Boat Challenge will help us to achieve our vision of a world free from deaths caused by drug-resistant infections.
