On Saturday 27 June 2026, I will be walking 50 km for the ItsME Foundation, together with our wonderful team MYAngel.

My dear niece Mya Louise Mar Heijckmann passed away on 1 September 2023 due to the terrible consequences of meningitis. Mya was only 9 months old. We miss Mya terribly. We are turning our grief into action.

We think it's important that more research is done into this terrible disease so that it can be recognised earlier in the future.

Would you sponsor us for this? 💛
