“Of course we saw the counter rise more and more lately, but this is something we never dared hope for,” says medical student Sabine van Happen, SFC PR official. It is difficult to explain why it is such a success, but Van Happen has noticed that the run is becoming more well-known. “And we did try to approach non-students through sports associations and Instagram.”
That seems to have worked, although students were still the group that collected the most. Independent sorority Sororitas accrued 7,151 euro. Van Happen: “They had a lot of participants, a number of whom were personally motivated because they had someone in their circle who (had) suffered from cancer.”
