We must all mobilize to help research to move forward.

 The test helps raise money for the fight against cancer. Objective: To climb to 6 times the 21 bends of the Alpe d’Huez alone or in teams  starting from Bourg d’Oisans . This represents 84 kilometers, 6720 meters in altitude and 126 bends ! The donations will be put back in the KWF, Official national foundation in the Netherlands for the fight against the cancer. The brave will leave in Bourg d’Oisans at 4:30 am. Many spectactors will attend approximately 20 000 Dutch.

Record in 2013, Alpe d’Huzes collected 29 Millions Euros.

 We thank all the hard-working volunteers who made it happen.
