Will you help? 🧠🥇

As many of you may know, I will be undertaking the ItsME Foundation's 50km sponsored walk again this year. Every sixty seconds, someone is affected by encephalitis, a serious inflammation of the brain. For meningitis, the inflammation of the brain's membranes, this figure is even four to five times higher. Annually, these conditions affect millions of people, with many of them losing their lives or experiencing lasting symptoms.

I have personally experienced firsthand the impact such an illness can have, when my good friend Jur Deitmers was confronted with it during his holiday in Mexico. This left a profound impression on me...

To date, funding has been provided to six separate research initiatives, involving seven research centres in five different countries. The first results from these innovative studies are expected soon.

Will you help?
This can be done by donating or by joining us for a stroll on 2 September!
