To coincide with International RLS Day on 23 September Lucy Hoekstra, who lives in the Netherlands, has lived with RLS for many years, during which she says she has encountered ignorance from doctors and the public at large about the condition.
Fed up, she decided to do something about it and has committed to raise awareness by walking no less than 573 kilometers over 26 days from late August until mid-September. Lucy is completing the walk as part of the #brainlifegoal initiative launched by the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA).
On 28 August Lucy will begin walking through the northern part of The Netherlands and Germany and she will finish in Krusbjerg, Denmark, on September 23rd – International RLS Day.
In her own words, Lucy wants "the world to learn about Restless Legs Syndrome".
