NEW THIS YEAR: GRAB A TOUR WITH ME

This year, we have something new! Alongside the Run, we're also organising a GUIDED WALK With ME on Sunday, 8th June 2025 – especially for everyone who prefers walking to running but still wants to make a valuable contribution to important scientific research into meningitis and encephalitis.

Run With ME is an annual running event organised by the ItsME committee of RSC-RVSV. This group consists of a number of dedicated students who are committed to a good cause: raising awareness and funds for research into meningitis and encephalitis. The proceeds from the event go directly to the ItsME foundation, which works to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases.
The ItsME foundation was established by Jur Deitmers, a former member of our association. During his student days, Jur suddenly lost his memory as a result of a very severe brain inflammation (Encephalitis: the E in ItsME). Since then, he has lived without memories of his past, but with a huge drive to make a difference for others. Jur is actively working to raise awareness and fund research into this disease. His impressive story – as ‘the boy without a yesterday’ – is a powerful inspiration for this event and for all of us.

RONDLEIDEN With ME was created especially for anyone who prefers not to run but would still like to participate. The tour starts, just like the Run, at the society in Rotterdam. Arrival is from 12:30 PM, and at around 1:00 PM we will set off for a relaxed walk with a pleasant guided tour through green Kralingen. RONDLEIDEN With ME is provided by former member Bernard Noorduyn (1972) of Rondleidingen010 - www.rondleidingen010.nl, an experienced guide in Rotterdam. RONDLEIDEN With ME will end back at the society, where we will join the runners for a convivial drink. This makes it an accessible and social event for young and old alike.

Do you want to participate? Then register via the ItsME website, and create a personal action page to raise donations if you wish.
Every step counts. Together we are committed.
The power of WE is stronger than the power of ME 💙
