As you might know I work at Xeltis, a groundbreaking medical products company in Eindhoven. We have a mission that touches the hearts of thousands of individuals - improving the lives of kidney dialysis patients.
Our flagship product, an artificial blood vessel, holds the power to transform the lives of those who rely on dialysis. Once implanted, it slowly integrates with the body, serving as a scaffold for the body's own tissues to grow upon. Over time, a new, living blood vessel is formed, alleviating the complications that frequent punctures often bring. It is a beacon of hope in a world of uncertainty.
But this journey is far from over. Together with the Dutch Kidney Foundation, Xeltis is organizing a pivotal fundraising event on March 20th. With the collective support of our 50 Xeltis employees, we aspire to raise a minimum of €5,000. It is a sum that may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it holds the power to create a seismic impact on the lives of kidney patients.
This is where you come in, we need your support. I have taken it upon myself to participate in this event, setting my personal goal to cycle 1100 height meters. This is derived from the Alpe d'HuZes, where people aim to raise money for cancer research. The height difference between start and finish is 1100 meters. I am not going to travel to France, so I will be cycling up and down a local "mountain" to eventually cycle 1100 height meters.
