This summer, Liesbet and I—along with our children Raymond (8) and Simone (5)—are embarking on a new adventure as we relocate to Kenya. To say goodbye, we’re hosting a celebration on Saturday, June 28 at STORMKOP in Antwerp. Chef Nour-el-Nono from Palestine will be preparing delicious dishes, and we look forward to sharing food, drinks, laughter, and maybe a bit of dancing with all of you.

Our suitcases are already overflowing, so please, no presents—your presence is gift enough. Instead, we invite you to support the Hearts for Gaza initiative (https://www.heartsforgaza.org/) to aid the Gaza Sunbirds cycling team’s humanitarian efforts. Your donation means the world to us and to those who need it most.
