Benefit sale was HUGE success!

From Boston, we have the pleasure to announce that the fund raising was an unbelievably huge success! A huge, Huge, HUGE success! 6.700$! Francois and I can hardly believe it.
It is enough to cover our travel expenses and lodging in Boston, and will give us room to spoil our little boy tremendously. It's just unbelievable!
The generosity of each of you, through both the sale and direct donations, made a huge impact on us. Such demonstration of love to Maarten, from US, Italy, Holland, UK and France, among others, is very overwhelming. We wish we could give a hug to all of you in person.

As far as the update from Boston, Maarten is still working hard on his push-ups and almost completed his series of radiations! Tomorrow is the last treatment and Maarten will have the pleasure to ring the bell, as is the tradition here at the hospital to wish goodluck for the future. We will ring it loud and clear!

Thank you all!

  1. Good luck to all of you tomorrow. Even though you want to go home, it'll be hard to say farewell to all those wonderful people up there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for all the radiation to have killed all the cancerous cells.
    But yes, ring it loud and proud.
