Steven Verhulst, from the VUB International Relations office, will do a walkathon, from VUB's main campus (Braem Building) to Ghent. By doing so he wants to raise funds for cancer research. 

He will set off from the VUB main campus on Friday 5 September at 8pm, and walk to Ghent, where he should arrive mid-morning (between 11-12 O'clock) on Saturday 6 September. If you want to know more about why he is doing this, then check out the interview he did on the Staff/PhD portal (log in with your VUB email address).

We are organising a send-off on Friday 5 September with drinks & snacks (all proceeds will be donated to the cancer research fund), from 4.30pm until 8pm, when Steven will start his walk. 

On the menu will be various drinks, snacks, music, and a dance demo! All proceeds will go towards the UZ Brussel Foundation for Cancer Research! On the programme:

16:30 Bar open!  Snacks ready!
17:30-18:30 Dance demonstration
20:00 Steven sets off to Ghent, on foot!

Everyone is welcome to attend. We'll be in the Braem Building (Building M), on the 1st floor. All money for drinks, snacks and pasta will go 100% to the UZ Brussel Foundation Cancer Research Fund. 

If you want to make a donation, the UZ Brussel Foundation page is still open - all donations of €40 and above will receive a fiscal certificate to add to your tax return next year! 

See you in Building M (Braem), 1st floor from 16.30 onward!
