Fight against Melanoma

On October 9, my sister Femke and Annemieke's best friend Marieke will run a half marathon (their first) in commemoration of my late wife Annemieke. Currently they are training hard for this purpose. Femke will run the marathon on Annemieke's brand new running shoes, which she bought just before she died. She did a couple of runs on them at the most. Marieke will wear Annemieke's running gear,

By doing the half marathon Femke and Marieke want to collect money to donate to the "Antoni van Leeuwenhoek" hospital. The money will be spent on research on melanoma. This research is conducted by the professor who was responsible for treating Annemieke in the last month of her life. In my conversations with him, I found him very enthusiastic about his research and het really hated it, that he could do nothing for her, though the current state of his research looked very promising. So now Femke and Marieke are trying their best to help along that research in their way, so that one day, we will not lose any friends and family, to this awful disease.

Their target is to collect at least 3000 euros. Please help them reach that target.
