On Saturday 27 June 2026, we will walk 50 kilometres during Walk With Me 2026 for the ItsME Foundation. This foundation is dedicated to research into brain (membrane) inflammation and to raising awareness of this life-changing illness.

For us, this is not just a walk. Both our son and my mother have had meningitis. While my mother fortunately recovered well, our son lives daily with the lasting consequences of acquired brain injury. Since then, we know how significant the impact of this can be – not only on the person it affects, but on the entire family.

With this walk, we want to raise awareness for meningitis and contribute to better research, more knowledge, and faster recognition of the disease.

Will you support us with a donation?
Every contribution helps – for research, for education and for everyone learning to live with the consequences of meningitis.

Together we take steps that truly make a difference 💛!
