On Saturday, November 10, The Vandal and #teamchassepatate are organizing a benefit evening to benefit Marc Herremans' To Walk Again project. From 20h everyone is welcome there for a pleasant evening where we will host several speakers. Among them are Mats Willockx, the inspirer of #teamchassepatate and of course Marc Herremans himself. We also hope to host Bahrain Merida trainee Maxim Pirard, European time trial champion Victor Campenaerts and To Walk Again ambassador Sarah De Bie. On the benefit evening, we will officially hand over the check to Marc Herremans.
Marc is no stranger to us. About three years ago he contacted us to make caps for his Coachingcenter Team 185. We made a virtue of necessity and hand delivered the caps to him by bike. In the meantime, we have already happily produced various items for Marc and several of his projects. And those who know or follow him a little will know that there are a lot of them.
A few months ago Marc contacted us for his latest project. "Project Shirin 2020" aims to lead the young multi-talented Shirin Van Anrooij to a great result at the 2020 World Cyclocross Championships in Switzerland. That edition will feature a women's junior competition for the first time. So Shirin's big goal is just under two years away. For this project we are the very proud casual clothing sponsor. Marc and Shirin are also official The Vandal ambassadors since this year.
Shirin van Anrooij is a 16-year-old young lady from Zeeland who has excelled in several sports in recent years. Last year, in addition to becoming Dutch cyclocross champion among the newcomers, she also became Dutch champion in the 1500m indoors, won bronze at the NK cyclocross and silver at the World Championships offroad triathlon and duathlon. Also on the road she already more than asserted herself with a victory in the Brabantse Pijl for women youth. Marc and his Team 185 will support her the next two years in such a way that she can find her own way in what suits her best and what will benefit her the most. She will be offered a professional environment with enough room for her personal development. Having fun remains at the top of the priority list.
Meanwhile at Team 185 Shirin is already riding part of the cyclocross season in the women's elite. And not without results as it turns out. At the last Superprestige edition in Boom she rode to a very creditable 14e place out of 38 starters. For a still only 16-year-old among (sometimes) professional cyclocross riders, that's a tremendously handsome achievement.
The Vandal wishes Shirin a successful and athletic future in advance!
