I aim to complete various challenges over 2 weeks from Mon 20th Feb until Fri 3rd April. This will be at my local gym centre and will include:  5 km swim, 5 km bike session, 5 km cross trainer workout, 5 km on the rower, 5 km treadmill workout and 5 circuit training exercises. My Mum will be joining me so I aim to surpass her!

I battled Encephalitis almost 8 years ago, which has left me with no anterograde memory!

I am raising awareness and support for The Encephalitis Society for World Encephalitis Day - February 22nd.

Our mission is to increase global awareness of encephalitis, saving lives and building better futures. Worldwide, a person is diagnosed with encephalitis (brain inflammation) every minute. Caused by infection or by autoimmune diseases, encephalitis strikes children and adults alike with no respect for gender or ethnicity. It is an acutely serious condition with high mortality rates, leaving many who survive with an acquired brain injury which will affect their memory, thinking and personality for the rest of their lives.
