Dutch charity raises €2 million for Princess Máxima Center.

The third annual 538 Morning Run, a fundraising event organized by Dutch radio station 538, spectacularly exceeded expectations, raising a staggering €2.125 million for the Princess Máxima Center for Child Oncology.

The event, held at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam and attended by numerous celebrities, saw radio DJ Tim Klijn, the driving force behind the initiative, completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. Initial projections were significantly lower, but the public’s generosity resulted in a donation far surpassing any previous record. This remarkable achievement highlights the community’s dedication to supporting children’s cancer research and treatment at the Prinses Máxima Centrum. Organizers attributed the success to a combination of factors, including widespread media coverage and the enthusiastic participation of both individuals and corporate sponsors. The funds raised will directly contribute to vital programs and research at the center.
