Fun-run to support children’s charity
Exhibitors and delegates to the IRE and APEX exhibitions will have the chance to raise funds for a
deserving Netherlands-based charity by taking part in a 5 km fun-run to be held at the RAI convention
centre on 26 June.
The run, which will start at the RAI exhibition centre at 7.00am, is in support of the children’s charity
CliniClowns, whichprovides entertainment for childrenundergoing treatment inhospitals throughout the
Netherlands aswell as hospitals in Europe, Australia and theUS.
The charity’s aim is to offer a welcome diversion for children in hospital; “Not only because these
kids deserve it, but also because they benefit greatly from it. Distraction and fun bothwork to relax the
children and reduce their stress levels.”
Runnersareencouraged toobtainsponsorship for the run, eitherpersonallyor through theiremployers.
The IRE and APEX exhibitions are covering the costs of organisation, so every Euro raised by runnerswill
go to the charity.
A similar run during the 2011 APEX show raised €3690 for the Ronald McDonald Huis in Maastricht, a
charity that provides accommodation for families visiting their children inhospital.
The start and the finishof the runareclose to theAmsterdamRAI exhibitioncentre, andmost of the trail
is off-road in theBeatrix Park. A cyclist will accompany the runners.
