Our Goal

Walking for Encephalitis

This February we will be walking together to raise awareness for Encephalitis (this is the second year we have done this!) 

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 complications. 

The past year has been a rollercoaster for Ingrid, resulting in her spending almost four months in hospital and rehabilitation centers.

We are so grateful she is still with us receiving love and support from her family, friends and professionals.

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 the Encephalitis Society. Your donation will help accelerate the understanding and awareness of encephalitis and ensuring that those affected by this serious neurological condition get the crucial help and support they need.

Thank you. 

World Encephalitis Day is officially on Thursday 22nd February - look out for buildings / landmarks lit up in red across the world to mark this day.

Ingrid continues to slowly improve. This horrible virus is quite rare but very nasty. Any help we can give the Encephalitis Society is much appreciated.
