Ichthyosis VZW is a charity which serves the interest of patients suffering from incurable skin disease Ichthyosis. We wanted to make an impact on a charity which is located close to our office and for which there isn’t a lot of awareness yet. That’s why we have chosen to start supporting Ichthyosis VZW a couple of years ago.

What is the Optimized Sport challenge?

In only 24 hours, we will try to cross the country by bike or foot, starting at the ORTEC office at 17.00h, passing by all colleagues’ home towns to finally finish again in our office in Boortmeerbeek. Since the time limit is quite strict, we will need our route optimizers to combine all addresses in an optimal route and our planning skills to solve the logistic puzzle. Each colleague can decide if he/she wants to participate by bike or by foot or if he/she wants to foresee in provision to keep the sporting colleagues in good shape. We will try to have two colleagues simultaneously on the route such that they can motivate each other. An amulet will be carried on and transferred to the colleagues taking over on each stop. We do not only do this for fun (although we hope it will be a lot of fun) but we also want to raise money for the good cause, in particular for Ichthyosis VZW
