Vreau să fac o donaţie!

Hello, I am Pieter Wessel, Dutch, father of 2 boys, a tax lawyer and partner in Deloitte, a passionate marathon runner and fund raiser. On 21 April 2014 I will run my dream marathon in Boston. My running is also a tribute to my both sons: to Alex because of enormous struggles and victories in the last years and to my oldest son Carel because of his almost unnatural maturity and understanding. The way he plays tennis, inspires and motivates me in my running career.

My request

I wholeheartedly appeal and encourage you to donate for one of 3 carefully selected social projects raising funds for specialized therapy and social integration of children with autistic and other development disorders in Romania and Bulgaria. Below you can choose one of the preselected amounts or chose your own amount.

Special achievement scheme

A marathon is a race with yourself. I am more than dedicated to cross my limits, make personal best time and help as much as possible those children in need. Of course every contribution is welcome. I like achievements. Therefore, I have introduced a result based contribution. After deciding on and paying your base amount you can reward me for special achievements on my marathon time. E.g. you commit:

25% extra if I do better than my personal best of 3:16:37 hours but more than 3:10 hours OR 50% if between 3:00 and 3:10 hours OR 100% if better than 3:00 hours (my dream time).

If I make it, you remit the extra amount after the marathon. You can indicate your participation in the special achievement scheme by ticking the box.

If you want to make a personal, tailor-made commitment, feel free of course. Please write it down in the ‘Message box’.

The donor with the highest contribution will be awarded with a unique race T-shirt of the Boston Marathon 2014.

I will personally match 10% of all your donations.

Thank you
Pieter

ORGANIZATIEI

Help Autism

Asociația Help Autism se implică activ în derularea de programe de conștientizare a autismului, diagnostic precoce și intervenție timpurie pentru copiii cu autism. 

Autismul este o tulburare severă de dezvoltare, de natură neuro-biologică, ce se manifestă în jurul vârstei de 2 ani. Copilul prezintă capacitate scăzută de a interacționa și de a comunica, de a se integra și relaționa social. Nu există tratament care să vindece autismul. Există doar intervenții terapeutice care ajută persoanele cu autism să devină funcționale și să se integreze în societate.

The Boston Marathon is an annual marathon hosted by several cities in Greater Boston in eastern Massachusetts. It is always held on Patriots' Day, the third Monday of April. Begun in 1897, inspired by the success of the first modern-day marathon competition in the 1896 Summer, the Boston Marathon is the world's oldest annual marathon, and ranks as one of the world's best-known road racing eve
