Raised
As a child I always wanted to become a doctor. And work for Artsen Zonder Grenzen (Medicins Sans Frontiers, Doctors Without Borders, “MSF”) to help people in dire situations in Africa.
But life took different turns and now, I’m about to embark on my biggest challenge: racing an Ironman, a full distance triathlon. And meanwhile support MSF by raising funds for people who need help and medical care in place where there’s very little… Think about Yemen, DR Congo or Ukraine. Fortunately MSF is there!
In Barcelona, on 2 October 2022, I’ll be swimming 3.8km, biking 180km and running a marathon in support of this great charity. Aiming to raise at least EUR 10 for each kilometer, over 226 kilometers.
May I ask you to contribute with EUR 0,10 per km, i.e. EUR 22,60? Or any amount that you can spare?
Grateful for your support!
BREAKING NEWS: INITIAL FUND RAISING TARGET OF EUR 2260 HAS ALREADY BEEN REACHED SO NOW INCREASING TO EUR 20 FOR EACH KILOMETER! NEW TARGET AMOUNT EUR 4520! PLS DONATE!

UPDATE: after a loooong day out racing, I did complete Ironman Barcelona with a smile! Finishing in 11 hours 35 minutes and 45 seconds. It has been a great six-month journey getting to the finish line raising more than EUR 5200 for MSF in the process! Thanks to everyone who has donated for this great charity and supported me along the road!
Battling the fatigue, the heat, heavy legs and myself… BUT I AM AN IRONMAN👊👊👊 https://www.actiezondergrenzen.nl/actie/martijnsnip/donors
Battling headwinds for 2x45k… One mechanical (lost my chain, which got stuck). And much more elevation than expected…
First part against the current (1000m in 32 minutes… Second part with the current 1000m in 20 minutes)
Including 1 minute pee-break and stopping 3 times to fix my shoe laces. Probably took me 2 minutes in total…
No wetsuit. Mass start, first lap like water polo😜
