Hi! My name is Coen de Heus, and like most years, I'm running the Eindhoven Half-Marathon (with my friend Pim pictured as well). This year Eindhoven has added a wrinkle to the run - and is giving runners the option to add 300m to the half marathon for Fund Raising.

One of my old friends - Lars van Peij is running an amazing initiative called Maasheggen Mooi - supporting Biodiversity in his region by Oeffelt (use maps to locate it :-) .

I've not spoken to Lars much for years - but I'm in awe and inspired by the fundraising efforts he has done. It's an inspiring story where his passion is developing in something tangible that is making an impact for his community.

So here is my little effort to help. My initial idea was to achieve 300m - and would love it if we can get there. But let's start at a slightly more modest 300 EUR - which would enable them to plant about 75m. To help accelerate the start - I will match the first 150 EUR in donations - so I need 150 EUR to hit the target. Hope you can help too.

Please have a look if you can at Lars' website - its a very worthwhile effort.

Thank you for your support!
