Goal: €500.00

From my own experience with Anti-GAD 65 encephalitis, I will be walking 50 km across the Strabrechtse Heide on Saturday, 27th June 2026, along with a team of fellow enthusiasts, to raise money for the ItsMe Foundation. This is to promote the need for greater awareness, more education, faster diagnosis(es), and a manageable path to recovery after contracting a variant of encephalitis/meningitis.

Will you support my team with a donation?
Every euro counts – for research, for education, and above all: for people fighting for recovery.

Together we make a difference. 💛
