On the bike for Duchenne! Team Davey registered for 2012.

Team Davey is registered for the seventh edition of Duchenne Heroes, which will be held next year in September. Although the 2010 edition (September 11 to 17) has yet to start, the men of the team thought it would be good to set a good example. They hope that their enthusiasm to participate can help convince those who are hesitant to join. In their eyes, participating is a special experience that you – if you have the chance – really must have at least once. So, if you think it would be fun to follow in their tire tracks, head over to Duchenne Heroes 2012 and sign up for the seventh edition. 7 days, 700 kilometers, 4 countries, 1 goal: The fight against the Duchenne disease!

How is Davey?

Davey is a sixteen-year-old boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He lives with his parents in Eenrum. Davey attends the Mytylschool in Haren and has to get up early every day. The taxi van arrives at the door around seven-thirty, and usually Davey isn't back home until around five o'clock. If there is anything at the top of Davey's list of favorites, it is wheelchair hockey. Davey plays as a forward for the E-team in Groningen. At the moment, he is the top scorer for this amazing team, which competes in the second division. Davey often goes out on weekends. He never misses Slam-FM parties. Davey also enjoys playing music himself. His preference lies in the realm of Top 40 hits and Radio 538. Occasionally, Davey performs as a DJ, but that is currently limited to parties within his family and circle of friends. Davey also occasionally plays cook at the Rienks household. When Davey takes care of dinner, it is usually an Italian night. Pizza and pasta are the specialties.

Team Davey Stamp Campaign

On July 27, 2011, Team Davey commissioned their third stamp. This time, it is a stamp featuring the Team Davey logo. They have learned from reliable sources that many fans have been eagerly awaiting this.

How does it work? Very simple! They started with stamp no. 1, and when at least 15 sheets of that have been ordered, they switch to variant 2. You guessed it, 3 and 4 follow after that. Via the special promotion page You can order the stamps from Team Davey's website.

Stamp 1 features team members Geert Linssen and Alfred van der Meulen with the special 'hoodeds' for participating five times in the Duchenne Heroes mountain bike tour. Stamp 2 shows Team Davey in an alpine meadow. Stamp 3 displays the Team Davey logo. And stamp 4 depicts Alfred van der Meulen's mountain bike with number 1 (this is his bike during the Duchenne Heroes 2010). This stamp has not yet gone into production. Please state your name, the number of sheets, and the address where the stamps should be sent. After placing your order, you will receive an email from them containing the payment details. Once the money has been received, they will send the stamps. One sheet (10 stamps) costs €11,00. Team Davey purchases the stamps for €5,50. Therefore, €5,00 goes to Duchenne research. The bicycle list wishes Team Davey much success in September and good preparation for 2012.
