My Goal

I am making every step count this February

This February, I am taking part in BrainWalk and walking, jogging or running as far as I can to improve my own health and wellbeing and help save lives! 

I am raising money for the Encephalitis Society, a cause close to my heart.
Encephalitis is a neurological condition that can be devastating. Here are five facts you may not know: 


1. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain.

2. It is caused by an infection or through the immune system attacking the brain.

3. Anyone can be affected by encephalitis – no matter their age, gender or ethnicity.

4. It has a high death rate and survivors are often left with an acquired brain injury and life-changing consequences.

5. In some cases, encephalitis can impact on mental health, causing difficult to deal with emotions and behaviours, and can lead to thoughts of self-harm and even suicide.

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.

Every donation I receive will go to the Encephalitis Society, helping accelerate understanding and awareness of encephalitis and ensuring that those affected by this serious neurological condition get the crucial help and support they need. Please help if you can.

Wednesday 8th Feb
Hi All,
I am so far keeping up with the challenge of 10K steps per day in Feb.  To add spice I am also doing the 108 moves of Taoist Tai Chi daily.  Tai Chi is helping me recover some strength and balance after my Zoster Encephalitis last year. I am very lucky that I have made an almost complete recovery. The Encephalitis Society were instrumental in ensuring that my wife had the information needed to ensure that the hospital treated me according to the National Guidelines.......and did not discharge me after only 24 hours IV.  Thanks to everyone donating....it's a really excellent charity doing some great work in promoting understanding Encephalitis.
Onwards and upwards, John
