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 encephalitis and meningitis, and to raising awareness of this devastating disease.

For us, this is not just a walk. Both our son and my mother (in-law) have had meningitis. While my mother (in-law) fortunately recovered well, our son lives daily with the permanent consequences of TBI (traumatic brain injury). Since then, we know how significant the impact can be – not only on the person affected 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 💛!
