This is what a swimmer’s body looks like after spending 55 hours in the water
Maarten van der Weijden, a Dutch swimmer, was once diagnosed with leukemia. He was only 20 years old. But, after a hard battle, he overcame cancer and went on to win an Olympic medal. Maarten is a cancer charity fundraiser and a real inspiration who never fails to achieve the improbable.
This photo shows the result of a 55-hour swim to raise money for cancer research. Few people know that Maarten has raised a significant amount of money. Nowadays, it’s more frequent to find photos of Olympic medalists doing good deeds, so we hope he motivates others to do the same.
