How does our company help MSF?
1. Help financially
In the bike challenge Tour for Life, each team's goal was to raise a minimum of EUR 15.000 for MSF/Doctors Without Borders. All together the teams raised a total of over 1.28 million euro. This helps MSF/Doctors Without Borders carry out its lifesaving work.Cycling through the mountains from Italy to the Netherlands
During the Tour for Life, the teams cycled eight tough stages through many mountain ranges from Italy to the Netherlands. These are classic routes with an average of 150 kilometers a day.The teams do it for themselves, but most of all, for others: for MSF-Holland and millions of people in need!
In 2013 we helped team "ASAP for Life" with their goal by donating a significant amount to Doctors Without Borders-Holland (MSF-Holland).
The founder of ASAP Utilities, Bastien Mensink, was also part of team ASAP for Life.
