Story

After the heartbreak of losing our active, lively, loving mum suddenly to Viral Encephalitis in May 2023, we want to help raise awareness of this devastating condition amongst friends, the community, and most importantly health professionals.

By raising awareness and funds for Encephalitis International, this will help with research and education to be devoted to training medical professionals around the world as early detection and treatment is paramount for better outcomes for patients affected by this terrible condition.

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.

Please donate if you can. Thank you for helping us make a difference.
