Maarten Bijl hasn't added a story.
Hi, thank you for visiting my campaign.
Let me briefly introduce myself: I'm Maarten Bijl, a 41yr old Dutchman living in China and an avid runner. Over the years I participated in many running events and to be honest i got a bit bored of them and was lacking motivation to continue. So in search of a new challenge I found "Run the great wall" A half marathon on a rough part of the Great Wall of China.
Next to completing 21,1 km on rough terrain in the April Beijing climate, more than 1000 height meters will need to be conquered as well....that is a lot of steps to climb...actually it equals climbing the Eiffel tower more than 3 times (the Paris one that is, not the Shenzen one ;-) ).
To motivate myself and not make this another "pointless" start to finish run I decided to make the run about supporting a charitable cause: Hopeful Hearts Guangzhou.
The Hopeful Hearts team raises money to support children from low income Chinese families to undergo a much needed heart operation. They do fantastic work and over the years they have supported more than 550 cases. In 2018 they helped 20 children to keep their young heart beating (http://hopefulheartsgz.org)
Per case HH supports about 30,000 RMB (approx 4000 euro).
Will you help me to try to keep 1 more young heart beating?
Donations large or small: every RMB, EUR, or USD helps, many thanks in advance for your support!!!
Maarten
Just to be clear: all the donations will go for 100% to Hopeful hearts Guangzhou. All event related cost ( entry fee, flight, hotel etc) I pay myself.
