Runners raise over 8500 euro for Health[e]Foundation
For the second year around Health[e]Foundation participated in the Dam tot Damloop, one of the biggest running events in the world.

Health[e]Foundation is very pleased with the outcome of over €8500 raised and would like to thank all the runners and people donating to our cause. The money will go to our Community[e]Education training projects. Also a big thank you to our sponsors: Albert Heijn to go, Fruitful office and Uber for their in kind donations to the event. Finally, congratulations to:
