"The power of WE is stronger than the power of ME"

On October 15th, I'm running the marathon for the ItsMe Foundation. Together with you, I want to raise money for scientific research into meningitis and encephalitis. My housemate Jur was struck by viral encephalitis in 2017. Despite narrowly surviving, his entire memory was wiped clean. He no longer knew who his parents, little brother, sister, friends, and housemates were, how to fry an egg, or how to open (or enjoy) a beer. Jur had essentially forgotten himself, but fortunately, he survived! He's doing well now, but for many people, things don't end so well, resulting in death or permanent after-effects. Approximately 5 people are affected by meningitis or encephalitis every minute, meaning over 1000 people during my run. Please donate and help me with this final sprint for ItsME! Thank you very much.
