On Saturday 27 June 2026, we will walk 50 kilometres for the ItsME Foundation – a charity dedicated to research into meningitis and increasing awareness.

Luc’s mother was struck by encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) over 10 years ago, and every day in the Netherlands, 10 to 15 people are affected by this disease. In 40%, this leads to death or permanent damage. The impact on the lives of those affected and their families is profound.

With our participation, we want to contribute to greater awareness, better research and faster diagnoses.

Will you support us with a donation?
Every euro counts – for research, for education, and above all: for people fighting for recovery.

Together we make a difference. Every euro counts. 💛
