This summer, I’ll be cycling 220 kilometers—not for competition, a podium, or a personal best, but for something far more meaningful: to raise money for stem cell donor research through the incredible work of Matchis.
This is my second time taking on this challenge, and my preparation is far worse so my commitment has to be even higher. Why? Because I believe in what Matchis stands for. Their mission is simple but profound: connecting stem cell donors with patients who desperately need a second chance at life.
It’s one of the rare causes where the impact is so direct. One person, one donation, one match—and someone’s life can be saved. There’s no fortune in it. The only reward is knowing that somewhere, someone gets to keep living. And that’s everything.
By supporting Matchis, we’re helping to fund critical research that:
Improves donor-patient matching
Makes the process safer and more accessible
Expands the global donor registry, especially for people with rare genetic backgrounds
This ride is tough—220 kilometers will push my body and my mind—but it’s nothing compared to what patients and donors go through. That’s why I ride. That’s why I ask for your support.
Every euro helps. Every share helps. Every bit of awareness brings us closer to saving more lives. If you believe in the power of one person to make a difference, then I hope you’ll support me and Matchis on this journey.
Thank you for being part of this ride.
