Passion
To literally move on our own energy and being physically active; those are our main drivers for this tour. We get a huge kick out of accomplishing a long tour on our own muscle power and stamina. During our tour we will see wonderful and impressive landscapes, will meet very special people and experience day and time on a whole different level as we do in our daily lives. With empty heads we relax, it feels as if we are temporary living a totally different life. Usually we do this during our holidays, but we felt the urge to be away for an extended period and to do something special together.
Family
This tour gives us the opportunity to spend a lot of time together as a family, which is really special considering our busy daily lives. We both work 4 days a week, Fenna spends 3 days in daycare and meanwhile we are rebuilding our house. We are really looking forward to be able to spend such a long time with the three of us and share all the extraordinary experiences.
Foundation “MS- Anders”
When deciding to embark on this tour we also felt a massive urge to add a purpose to our tour and to do something that would benefit others. For whom? For people with multiple sclerosis. Ellens’ sister Saskia suffers from multiple sclerosis and we experience from really close distance what a devastating and terrible disease this is. With our tour we hope to be able to collect money in order to sponsor research that will lead to a cure for this disease. The money that we receive via sponsors will benefit medical scientific research that is support by the foundation “MS-Anders”. More information on this research is available on our website and on the website of MS-Anders.
