Turning 40, Running My First Marathon and Celebrating with a Purpose ❤️

Today I turn 40! 🥳 And tomorrow, I’ll be running a full marathon for the very first time in my life. 42.195 kilometres!

This year, I’m dedicating my birthday to the AutismeFonds ❤️

This is the invitation I’ve been sending out.

And if you happen to have nothing planned, just send me a LinkedIn message for the address. You’re invited too!

Turning 40 is a milestone. Running a marathon is a milestone. And to me, they’re both about the same thing: pushing boundaries.

In life, in business and on a personal level. Challenging yourself, trying new things and discovering what’s possible.

But it’s not just about achievements and reaching goals. It’s about experiences. Living in the moment, enjoying the adventure and making memories with the people you love.

And above all, it’s about love. Love for my family. ❤️

That’s why I’m running this marathon tomorrow. For Thor and for all the other children and families affected by autism.

So, would you like to give me a birthday present? Would you like to sponsor my run tomorrow? Would you like to support the AutismeFonds?

I’d say those are more than enough reasons to say yes. 😉

Happy birthday to me! 🎉❤️
