Cyriel's Run

(English below...)
Midden april hebben wij jullie gevraagd te sponseren voor het goede doel, nl Cyriel's Run.
Cyriel's run is gehouden op 15 mei ter nagedachtenis aan het overlijden van Kim's klasgenootje op 7 jarige leeftijd vorig jaar 15 mei als gevolg van een hersentumor. De kinderen uit Kim haar klas en de rest van de school ook hielden een sponserloop. Kim kon hier uiteraard niet aan meedoen, maar heeft wel uitdagingen aangegaan tijdens ons verblijf op de Galapagos. Vele van jullie hebben gesponserd en hebben daarmee bijgedragen aan een totaal opbrengst van deze dag van EUR 15002,49 allemaal ten goede van Stichting Semmy welk onderzoek doet naar deze vorm van kanker.

Wij willen jullie allemaal bedanken voor jullie bijdrage !!!!
Hieronder een impressie van de dag die de kinderen in Nederland op school hadden.
De foto's met uitdagingen van kim komen zo spoedig mogelijk op onze website

Mid April we asked all of you to sponsor charity, in this case Cyriel's Run. Cyriel's Run was held on May 15th in memorial of Cyriel Rijsdijk, Kim's classmate who passed away last year on May 15th due to braincancer. The kids from Kim's class and the school organized a sponsor run. Of course, Kim couldn't join this run but she had some challenges during our stay at the Galapagos. A lot of our friends and family have contributed to the total amount of EUR 15002,49 of this day. This money will go to 'Stichting Semmy', a charity which finances the research of the specific kind of cancer Cyriel had.

We want to thank you all for donating!!!
Below you will see an impression of the day the kids had at school.
The photo's of the challenges Kim had will be on our website soon.
