Every minute, someone somewhere in the world is struck down by encephalitis. For meningitis, that figure is even four to five times higher. A significant proportion of these individuals die or suffer permanent after-effects. All kinds of research, ranging from small to large, can be envisioned that require funding. A lack of funding genuinely appears to be the limiting factor at this time. The common commentary is that encephalitis (and meningitis) is too rare. Therefore, Stichting ItsME, as an independent foundation, supports groundbreaking research to improve the treatment of encephalitis (and meningitis).
On June 21st, the sprint triathlon will take place in Nederhorst den Berg, where participants can get sponsored to raise as much money as possible for the ItsME foundation. The Swim-bike-run with me! (500 metres swimming, 20 kilometres cycling, and 5 kilometres running.) Scroll further down to see the participants, sponsor them, and read their personal stories.
