Nicole's challenge: The Walk to Cure encephalitis
Nicole Seiler was a beloved 12-year old from California who tragically lost her life to encephalitis in 2011. Her mother, Suzanne Spector, and brother, Michael Seiler, went on to create Nicole's Challenge: The Walk to Cure Encephalitis and have fundraised for over a decade in hopes of sparing others the agony of losing a loved one to the disease. Their financial support helped Encephalitis411 to become an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2017.
