Ultra distance cyclist
"The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you've come - Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you're doing the impossible !"

Tell us something about yourself?

I'm a belgian amateur cyclist suffering of ankylosing spondylitis. In the context of spondylitis, sport or at least physical activity is considered essential. The longer we stay in motion, the slower ​the progression of the disease. My goal is to promote sport, physical activity and cycling in particular as a supplement to therapy. Each year a cycle more than 8.000 km and achieve long distance challenges. I cycle to raise funds for the CLAIR.be association helping people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

Why do you wear a Mojid band?

I train over long distances and often in the mountains. I am reassured to know that in the event of an accident, my family will be able to be notified using the contact details on my bracelet. Being sick and having a specific treatment, the data can help the emergency services.

What is your life mantra?

The only time you should ever look back is to see how far you've come - Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you're doing the impossible !
