A growth of 15.88% compared to 2017! I’d loved to reach 6,000,000 by the end of the year, but still happy with it. Goal for 2019: adding another 20% to reach 7,000,000 😉

A zillion times thank you !!!

Bart Noëth

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
