Join Stig Broeckx and take action for brain injury research!
In 2016, disaster struck for the talented Belgian cyclist Stig Broeckx. Riding for the Lotto–Soudal team, he was involved in a serious crash during the Tour of Belgium. The accident left him in a coma with severe brain damage. His doctors were pessimistic, but against all odds, Stig managed to recover. He now is even back on this bike. Moreover, Stig is an ambassador for Maastricht University’s Brain Battle Fund, which carries out important research on new brain injury treatments.
To raise money for this research, Stig wants to ride part of Hel van de Kempen, a cycle race on 11 September. The Brain Battle Fund will use the money to purchase a new monitor, for example, enabling doctors to better monitor the brain and adjust the treatment as need. For the monitor, the fund needs €25,000.
