Fondation contre le Cancer - Buffaloootjes on the run!

Pourquoi ce projet vous tient-il à coeur ? Transmettez-nous votre engagement !
Recent events showed us once more the importance of living your life to the fullest - push your limits, dare to dream, and never stop being kind. Push your limits to go farther down the road and explore new horizons – because some of us won’t be given that chance. Dare to dream the dreams they dreamt – because their dreams live within us still. Never stop being kind – because you never know the invisible fights some of us fight on a daily basis.

Quel est votre objectif ?
As a team we will go above-and-beyond and push ourselves to swim 1.9km in open water, bike 90km to 180km and run 10km to 42km at the Long Course Week-end in Nieuwpoort on 22-23-24 September 2023, based on the most challenging route for each of us. Although conquering the long courses, having lots of fun and dedicating a thoughtful wink to the skies are the main goals to this adventure, we aim to raise 1.000 € and we'd be thrilled if you were part of it and donated to the Foundation via this page.

Quelque chose à ajouter ? Une anecdote à partager ?
Buffaloes are a symbol of freedom, strength, bravery, kindness and respect. To us, it also means to go above-and-beyond for your friends when they need it. Let's go Buffalotjes, it's time to karate-chop this crab into surimi together ! 🙂

LAST WEEK BEFORE LCW!

In a few days' time we will have swum, biked and run over and beyond for something we choose to believe in :-)

The training journey was tough: rocky sea, rough paths, a few injuries - but we didn't give up!

"Op uw bakkes gaan is niet erg, blijven liggen wel" - sweat, blood and tears along the way, but always getting up!

And of course: a huge thank you to all the donors who helped us go beyond our fundraising goal, with more than a thousand euros collected for research! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts.

Please don't be shy and feel free to come cheer on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Nieuwpoort!

Lots of love,

The Buffalootjes,

One month to go!

Swimming, biking, running our way to the LCW!

It ain't easy but falling and getting up is part of the game.

The water is cold, and the road is rough, but we keep on going: we focus on our "reason why" :-)

Thanks to all those who helped us and donated: nearly 90% of the goal reached so far!

Love,

The Buffalootjes

It's gettting real folks!

It's getting real folks!

Zweffie and Matti will go All-in : 1.9km swimming, 90km biking, 21.1km running!

Swelder and Swender and Joejoe will tackle the Kemmelberg and bike over 180km with a 1000m total elevation!

Swallie will push forward to 10km!

Now, will Swyllie decide to run 21.1km full speed or will he choose the endurance run of 42km - a full marathon? You'll learn soon enough!

Thanks to all the donors already! Nearly half way there!

Thanks for the support, it really helps to keep the spirits up and the trainings going!
