The long-distance swimmer attempted to swim the Elfstedentocht in 2018, to raise money for cancer research.
But in Burdaard, he was too exhausted to reach the last city, Dokkum. He had already swum 163 kilometers and spent 55 hours in the water...
In 2019, he tried again and this time he succeeded in completing his 'tour of tours' by swimming! It became an emotional event that the whole of the Netherlands experienced.
Artist Hans Jouta made the beautiful statue 'carried in hands' free of charge.
