\n More than a sporting challenge, a movement<\/span> <\/h2>\n <\/span>\n

Every year on the first Thursday of June<\/strong>, 5,000 Dutch participants take on the Alpe d\u2019Huzes<\/strong> with one goal: climbing the mountain up to six times in a single day<\/strong> to raise money for cancer research<\/strong>.\nSince 2006, over \u20ac245 million<\/strong> has been raised for the KWF Dutch Cancer Society, with 100% of donations going directly to cancer research. This is not a race. There is no podium. Only the motto: \u00abOpgeven is geen optie.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
