Once again, dozens of Amgen colleagues got on their bikes for a good cause. Following five Fietselfstedentochten, the Tour of Brabant returned for its second edition. Taking on distances ranging from 50 to 200 kilometres, participants rose to the challenge and made every kilometer count. Together, they raised funds for Matchis and the Dutch Heart Foundation.
Setting off from the Amgen office in Breda, the cyclists were divided into five groups based on their chosen distance. Full of energy, they headed out on routes through Brabant for a day of cycling, adventure and good company.
Whatever the weather, we ride together!
This year’s Tour of Brabant took place a little later than originally planned. Due to the extreme heat, the event could not take place in June as it did last year. Instead, nearly 50 enthusiastic participants gathered at the starting line on 4 September.
The weather may not have been quite as sunny as last year, with plenty of rain in the forecast, but that certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. With just as much enthusiasm and motivation, the participants got on their bikes and made the most of a great day together.
Pedalling for a good cause
Once again, participants cycled in support of the Dutch Heart Foundation and Matchis, the Dutch centre for stem cell donors. Every kilometre helped raise funds and awareness for these important organisations and the life-saving work they do every day.
