Christophe was not always happy in his life. He lost his father as a teenager and has been at home for months with an arm injury. But the construction worker does not give up. Last year he walked 100 kilometers during the hottest week for a non-profit organization that helps with grief. His feet were broken, but since then he has had the walking bug.

After a while he accidentally discovered that you can also walk figures, for example animals. The day before yesterday he walked a feat for everyone in the healthcare sector. He left AZ Groeinghe and it took more than 12 hours. A thank you that can count.
His walk forms on Strava, a sports smartphone application, “thank you”. It is a message to healthcare personnel. “It was a tough trip, because there was a lot of wind, but I absolutely wanted to do it. That way I can say thank you to the people from the healthcare sector. They really deserve that.”
