Kalina & Isa & Kim

In late January 2025, Kalina was struck by viral meningitis. In 2018, Kim had to deal with two encephalitises. Fortunately, we both recovered well, partly thanks to a swift diagnosis. But it could have ended very differently.

Every day in the Netherlands, 10 to 15 people are affected by meningitis. In 40%, this leads to death or permanent damage. The impact on the lives of those affected and their families is enormous.

Therefore, we are taking action together.

On Saturday 27 June 2026, we will walk for the ItsME Foundation – a charity dedicated to researching encephalitis and increasing awareness.

Kalina and Isa walk 50 kilometres and Kim joins them halfway to walk the last 25 kilometres.

Through our participation, we want to contribute to greater awareness, better research and faster diagnoses. So that future sufferers can hopefully recover as well as we have.

Will you support us with a donation?

Every euro counts – for research, for education, and above all: for people fighting for recovery.

Together we make a difference. 💛
