Eric is a musician and songwriter, perhaps best known as the spiky-haired, blue-eyed, lead guitarist with 70s' supergroup, The Bay City Rollers.  On February 8th 2015 he nearly died when he was struck down suddenly with Viral Encephalitis.  Thankfully, because of speedy diagnosis and treatment he is now almost fully recovered.  When hearing other people's stories, he realised how lucky he was and so this February he is helping to raise awareness of this debilitating and life-threatening condition in the hope that more lives may be saved.
Would you know the signs?  It can strike anyone, young or old, regardless of lifestyle, and without any warning.
We need your help to raise £3,000 (£1,000 for each year since Eric took ill) so that The Encephalitis Society can raise global awareness of this condition.
February 22nd is World Encephalitis Day.  Please help us to raise our target by then.
Eric survived without serious permanent damage, but not everyone is so lucky.  If medical staff, families and friends learn the warning signs, many more lives can be saved.
