NLHI Heart Tissue Bank spinning marathon

On November 12, 2022, 38 heroes cycled for 4 hours for the Heart Tissue Bank. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of the Netherlands Heart Institute. In total, about 5,000 euros was raised and the NLHI doubled this to 10,000 euros with the help of a generous donor! A great result that we are very proud of! Heart Tissue Bank Coordinator Michiel Henkens tells us again what we did it all for. Special thanks to the instructors of Legendary Lane, our sponsors: WCN.life, NVVC.nl, Antoine Catering, the PLN foundation and to the creators of this video CreativeBros.nl. (video in Dutch)
