Clare’s first charity run- for Cancer research

This year, I’m taking part in the Utrecht Single Loop 5K together with my colleagues at Eurail, thanks to a fantastic initiative organised by our Sports Committee.

Here’s the twist: I’m not a runner. In fact, this will be my very first 5K! With just 4 weeks to train and get fit, this is a real personal challenge for me, but one I’m determined to take on. At least I can take comfort in the fact that in the Netherlands there are no hills!

We’re running to raise money for KWF (Dutch Cancer Society). All participants are asked to contribute, and unfortunately, this support is desperately needed: 1 in 2 people in the Netherlands will be diagnosed with cancer. Every donation helps fund vital research and support for patients and families.

I've decided to take part to not only push myself outside my comfort zone, but also to make a difference for this important cause.

Your encouragement, cheers, and donations mean the world — together, we can turn every step into hope.

Thank you 💛
