Running 16K and supporting eye care foundation

Hi friends,

I'm reaching out with immense excitement and purpose. On September 21st, I'll be running the iconic Dam tot Damloop (16km from Amsterdam to Zaandam) as part of the Eye Care Foundation team. But this isn't just about crossing the finish line – it's about changing lives and giving people the precious gift of sight.

Why This Cause Means Everything to MeAs someone who lives with sight disability myself, I deeply understand the challenges that come with visual impairment. The daily navigation of a world designed for those with perfect vision, the constant adaptations we make, and the barriers we face are part of my lived experience. But I also know the incredible difference that proper eye care can make in someone's life.

Here's what truly moves me: while I live in a country with access to advanced eye care, millions of people around the world are living in unnecessary darkness. 80% of blindness worldwide is preventable or treatable. That's not just a statistic – it's millions of mothers, fathers, children, and grandparents who could see their loved ones' faces again with something as simple as a cataract surgery or a pair of glasses.

The Eye Care Foundation works in the most remote areas of Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Tanzania, where good medical care is often inaccessible or unaffordable. They've already treated over 7 million patients and performed more than 800,000 surgeries. But there's so much more work to be done.

My Goal and How You Can HelpI'm aiming to raise €175 as part of the team's ambitious goal of €50,000 to celebrate the Eye Care Foundation's 40th anniversary. Every euro you donate goes directly to providing eye care in remote areas where it's needed most.

Here's how you can make a difference:

€10 – Helps fund eye screenings for multiple patients€25 – Provides glasses for a child who can't see clearly€42 – Gives someone a complete cataract surgery or eye exam plus glasses€100 – Transforms multiple lives with comprehensive eye care
