1000KM Bike Ride for Sint Maarten

Donation protected
Hi,

My name is Jean-Louis Button and I was born in Sint Maarten. Although I have lived in the UK for most of my life, I still feel a connection to the island. 

The eye of one of the most powerful Category 5 Hurricanes directly passed over Sint Maarten, causing catastrophic damage to the island and its people. 

(70% of houses/businesses are like this, estimated €1.2bn worth of damage.)

Several nations have been hit real hard by Hurricane Irma, its going to take time to rebuild.

But one random act of kindness can go a long way.

I will be doing a 1000 KM bike ride through the Netherlands from 1/10/17 to 13/10/17 to help raise money.

The route has been selected, but now I need to figure out exsactly what paths to take so I dont get lost and I know where I can sleep.

ALOT still to figure out! 


I will start in Teuge and make my way North to the start of the Coastal Route (Nederlandse Kustroute).

The route will take me along the coastline towards the boarder of Belgium. From there I will head towards Antwerpen and finally onto Oss.

I have also decided that if we can get up to £1000 before the end of this month, I will do the entire trip in my FLIP FLOPS.

Yes, my flipflops. Surely that alone has made you smile and deserves a donation for a worthy cause!?


This is the bike. Definatly not designed for long distance. It only has one gear, and to brake you have to pedal backwards.

But I am determined enough to give it a go and show my support!

Please share, donate, or even start your own page to help others. Anything is possible with a positive mind.

We can do this, together.



*I am in contact with the Red Cross/Rode Kruis and ALL funds will be passed onto them.

**The UK Government will match all donations and they have this statement to share:

"Donate now to help families in desperate need. Every pound donated by the public will be matched by the UK Government, up to £3 million"
