Roelie Struik is taking an enormous challenge for the Twan Foundation: running 29 km in Scotland at high altitude.We are happy to share Roelie’s beautiful words of why does she do that.

In April we were able to receive a cheque worth 1550 € from the foundation ‘Onderuit de Waterzak’. This foundation released and sold the book that Eric Baas, Twan’s grandfather started. Eric couldn’t finish the book himself because he died, but others finished it for him.
