AE Warrior baseball hat

Autoimmune encephalitis patients, caregivers and parents alike will appreciate this hat's message. The phrase "AE Warrior" was coined by IAES founders in 2014 as a way to distinguish AE from other types of encephalitis. Autoimmune encephalitis is an on-going battle which is why it takes a warrior's strength to battle it back. Encephalitis patients refer to themselves as a 'survivor' because the disease is present for a few weeks and the patient survived and is left with brain damage from it. AE Warrior invokes a sense of pride and reaffirmation of the courage it takes to fight so hard and so long to regain one's health. The design can be transferred to other products of your choice. Different colors are available. International Autoimmune Encephalitis Society holds the trademark for "AE Warrior". The proceeds of your purchase will immediately support autoimmune encephalitis patients, caregivers, and families who are walking this difficult journey. Proceeds also go to support research that may one day lead to a cure.
