Twenty-three years ago, Lucille, a loyal Babassu customer, was diagnosed with ALS. After this devastating diagnosis, which carries an average life expectancy of three to five years, she has watched both her sons grow up. With great perseverance, love and the support of her husband Barry, she still enjoys life and her family to the full, and remains active in her community as a volunteer.
“When the wife of Barry’s colleague died of ALS within eleven months last year, we felt it was time to step forward and take action,” Lucille says. “So this Saturday, 11 July, we are organising a TriALSlon in Rotterdam: a combination of 500m swimming, 2500m pedal boating and 5000m running. To raise money for research, but also to offer hope to all those other people living with ALS. I know how life falls apart the moment you hear the diagnosis.”
5% of what you spend in our boutiques goes to research.
Babassu is glad to play its part. On the day of the TriALSlon, 5% of everything spent will go towards this important cause.
