welcome to the challenge!

Nicole's Challenge: The Walk to Cure Encephalitis is Encephalitis411's signature fundraiser. Each year we host an event in honor of Nicole Seiler, a beloved 12-year old from California who tragically passed away in 2011. Her unexpected death occurred only days after being diagnosed with encephalitis.
Nicole's mother, Suzanne Spector, and Nicole's twin brother, Michael Seiler, founded an annual walk with the goal of sparing other families the agony of losing a loved one to the disease. Their fundraising efforts provided Encephalitis411 with the seed money necessary to become an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The annual Nicole's Challenge event continues the legacy and pays tribute to Nicole while honoring the stories of those impacted by encephalitis. |
