Our #OneFamily campaign is all about people whose lives are touched by encephalitis, which is a very real and often devastating, neurological condition.

Encephalitis happens in every community, to ordinary families and the children they love.

One person every minute is diagnosed with encephalitis, yet awareness is low. #OneFamily aims to highlight the lack of awareness of encephalitis, telling real encephalitis stories like Dee Dee’s which demonstrate the love families have for each other but also show how devastating encephalitis can be.

Share a photograph of your #OneFamily on social media and tag us in on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram so we can see you and show the world that everyone affected by encephalitis is #OneFamily

Or you can email it to us and we will share it for you!
