HOW TO DONATE


At the beginning of the year a colleague and close cycling buddy, Jos, has been diagnosed with this muscle degenerating disease and given a life span of 2 to 3 years. He has decided to keep working and cycling for as long as he could. That inspired a group of Nike cycling team to enlist on the Tour du ALS and dedicate the L'Etape du Tour team to this effort as a way to motivate him to continue his battle with the disease. 

The main objective is to raise awareness for the ALS disease and the research for a cure and  to support the ALS foundation in The Netherlands. The Nike team named Team Jos - Nike Courage will start this week with the fundraising activities to support the foundation funding the research against the disease.

We will fund-raise from now until the week of July 8th when we finish the L'Etape du Tour ride.
  

FOR NIKE EMPLOYEES - The Tour du ALS is now an accredited organization supported by Nike Global Giving Foundation. This means any donation done by a Nike employee will be doubled by Nike to a maximum amount of 2.500 US dollars. So, if a Nike Employee donates 2.500 dollars, the total amount transferred to the Dutch ALS Foundation will be 5.000 dollars! 

To donate, the employee needs to have an account on the WE Portal. Once in the portal search for the Tour du ALS cause and follow the DONATE NOW button. We encourage you to do this to maximize our donations for the cause. If you don't want to create an account on the WE Portal, follow the below option.

FOR NON NIKE EMPLOYEES - If you've been approached by one of our fundraiser and would like to donate, please follow the instructions given by him/her. Some might ask you to perform donations direct to them. That is normal! So they can make the transfer later to the Nike Foundation and get the amount doubled! 

We will update this page periodically with the names of the people donating. We will also post updates where we are with the total amount of donations 

See below the list of fundraisers. 



DIRECT DONATION - You can also donate directly to the Tour du ALS foundation! Just visit their website and follow the instructions on the Online Doneren link. You can donate via MiniTix, IDeal, Visa, Maestro or MasterCard. IMPORTANT!!! Donations given directly to the Tour du ALS will NOT be double by Nike Foundation.
