With the success of last year’s walk, we have decided to get together for a second year and raise awareness for Encephalitis International.

This is something extremely close to all of our hearts as in February 2022 Ingrid (our amazing mum, wife, granny, auntie and friend) was taken to hospital with unusual symptoms that turned out to be viral encephalitis. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain and is a life threatening neurological condition. It can happen to anyone at any time and the survivors are often left with life changing complications.

In Ingrid’s case, it has caused severe damage to the left side of her brain; affecting her memory, speech, understanding of language and other physical feelings in her body and vision.

Over the past year, Ingrid has made improvements with her memory and speech. This is all down to her hard work, her loving husband, family and friends.

One person is diagnosed with encephalitis every minute across the world, and life for them and their loved ones will never be the same again.

We are taking part in a group walk to support Encephalitis International. Your donation will help accelerate the understanding and awareness of encephalitis and provide training modules for medical professionals around the world about the diagnosis and treatment of encephalitis.

Thank you in advance for your support :-)
