All the way from Holland by bike - all for the dogs

It took months to plan and many exhausting hours on the road. Finally the end was in sight. Last week Roos, who had last been to El Refugio five years ago as a student, finished her long journey by bike. A journey of 2,300 miles, all the way from Holland, to raise funds for the dogs. 

Accompanied on the last part of her journey by the ACE transport, with Fabienne and Ton and Natasha filming the event, she arrived to a warm reception. Once inside she presented Fabienne and Ton with a cheque for €3,250 - a truly amazing sum. And she even saved a little dog while on the road. What a star, this Roos. Thanks also go to her mother, father and stepfather who supported her all the way.
