Stofwisseltour 2016
Team Axel and Team Euronext sound gong for Stofwisseltour 2016
The trading day at Euronext is opened by Foundation Stofwisselkracht, Team Axel and Team Euronext to call attention to the Stofwisseltour 2016.
Last year Team Axel visited the Amsterdam exchange to raise awareness for the Stofwisseltour. After this, plans were made for a Team Euronext to participate in this year’s Stofwisseltour, which takes place for the sixth time from 17 - 19 June. Seventeen cycling teams participate in this three day cycling relay to raise money for research into metabolism diseases and to raise awareness to this relatively unknown disease.
Each year, around 800 children are diagnosed with a metabolic disorder in The Netherlands. There is currently no treatment for many of these metabolic disorders, leaving many children developing severe mental and physical disabilities. More than half of the children die before they are 18 years old. Foundation Stofwisselkracht joins forces with parents, patients, doctors, researchers and volunteers to fight against metabolic diseases. Through sports and social events and activities, the foundation raises funds for research.
