BFG supports the ALS Foundation by participating in the Tour du ALS
ALS is a serious muscular disease. The around 1,500 ALS patients in the Netherlands include Monique – the wife of our colleague Maurice who works for BFG IT & Services. We believe it is important that Monique and Maurice are not alone in this struggle. Together with colleagues from a number of BFG companies we are making a united stand and doing everything we can to eradicate this dreadful disease.
On behalf of Monique, and everyone else affected by this terrible disease, on Thursday 13 June 2024 the members of a combined BFG, Nationale Waarborg and Zeevat Hypotheken team will cycle, walk or run up Mont Ventoux in France to raise as much money as possible for the ALS Foundation.
There is still no cure for ALS
Unfortunately there is still no cure for this dreadful muscle disease that every year is the cause of death of a great many (young) people. The BFG, Zeevat Hypotheken and Nationale Waarborg team hopes to stimulate the development of a medicine or scientific solution by finding as many sponsors as possible and collecting money for the ALS Foundation. Every euro raised means one step closer to a cure or other scientific solution.
Hope is on the horizon
Last year the BFG, Zeevat Hypotheken and Nationale Waarborg team raised € 100,000 for the ALS Foundation. Every cent of this money went to research into a solution or medicine. This year the target amount is much higher and we are doing everything we can to rid the world of ALS.
Despite the fact that for many patients a cure will come too late, there is also hope on the horizon and a solution appears to be coming closer. We hope that within the next few years new techniques and medicines that will make living with this terrible muscular disease more bearable will be developed.
