A new year means new steps on our journey to treat and cure ADOA(-plus). As a small but active foundation, we are so grateful to be able to do this together with you: patients, loved ones, doctors, researchers, partners, and donors. 💙
In 2026 we want to further realize our mission and that includes good intentions:
📅 𝗢𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗼𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗻
This year, we're once again organizing ADOA and ADOA-plus days, attending conferences, and actively reaching out to physicians, researchers, and patient organizations. Through networking and knowledge sharing, we're continuing to build a strong, engaged community.

In 2026, we want to give ADOA-plus extra attention. We're working on clear and accessible information for both patients and healthcare providers, with new brochures, an update to our website, and more posts and interviews about living with ADOA-plus.
🌍 Iris and Iris, Iris and Iris
Our brochures are now available in several languages. We'll expand this further in 2026, so people worldwide can find reliable information and feel connected.

Together with Rubia Ernest, we're exploring how nutrition and hormones can be integrated into eye care. We'll share more practical information and tips soon.

2026 will be a true Pieterpad year! Norah (13) will walk 500 km for her sister and for all other people with ADOA (plus). You can support her by donating or walking (a stage) yourself. Will you join us?
💪 𝗡𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘃𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗔
A sponsored walk, a deposit refund campaign, a school project, or your own idea. With your action, you help make research possible and increase ADOA's profile, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
💙 And what about the upcoming 2020?
Become a donor, start a fundraiser, or share our information with your healthcare provider or network. Every gesture counts. Together, we can raise awareness, increase collaboration, and improve treatment opportunities for everyone living with ADOA and ADOA-plus.
