On the night of Friday 7 March to Saturday 8 March, a team from Nikhef participated in the fourth edition of the ALS Sunrise Walk, a sponsor walk through the streets of Utrecht to raise money for research into the deadly muscle disease ALS. In total, more than 4,000 people participated.
ALS is a disease that affected a Nikhef colleague, Erwin Out. Erwin has a blog (https://erwinout.com/wp/), in which he has shared his experiences, revealing the huge impact the disease has on his quality of life and his family.
In total, the walk raised more than a million euros, so 2025 became the first year where a million euros raised was passed.
