Good news everybody: Joost has been accepted for treatment in Clínica Ruíz in Puebla, Mexico.

We should get a treatment date soon.

In this treatment, Joost’s own stemcells will be taken and will get treated. He will then get several rounds of chemo therapy, after which he will receive the treated stemcells back. This will reset his immune system and should provide a significant improvement of his condition.

The clinic comes highly recommended to us by an MS patient who went there and saw significant improvement. It is also cheaper than London. The cost of the treatment in Mexico will be USD 54,000. When we account for flights and aftercare we need to raise another USD 10,000 so we can lower the amount required from £75,000 for treatment in London (which has since risen as well) to £50,000 for treatment in Mexico.

With the Dutch and English fundraising sites and offline contributions we are over halfway there, and we are hopeful that we will raise the full amount soon! Please help spread the word again!

Thank you all so much for your help and your donations, we are humbled by your outpouring of love and support.

If you have any ideas for fundraisers please let me know and I will be more than happy to join!

Please all help us in keeping the campaign for Joost going, we are now closer than ever to getting Joost the treatment that he needs!
