◆1 source

RTL Boulevard is running a campaign this week together with ReumaNederland, which is marking its 100th anniversary. The campaign focuses on children with juvenile rheumatism, including eight-year-old Esmée, for whom an ordinary day is already difficult. Around 300 children are diagnosed with the condition each year, according to the account. The campaign aims to help 80 children each year and says that treatment is now more possible than before, although there is still a long way to go toward curing the disease.
