Aftermovie

We Did It

On September 9th, 2023, 57 dedicated walkers embarked on an extraordinary journey with 24 The Planet, united under one noble cause: to raise over $60,000 for Justdiggit in the fight against global climate change. With this significant contribution, we can now regreen dry and degraded land, restoring an area comparable in size to Central Park in New York, right in the heart of Africa.

As temperatures soared during this event and extreme weather events ravaged the globe, from scorching heatwaves in the Netherlands to devastating floods in New York, and relentless bushfires in the Mediterranean, the urgency to regreen our planet has never been clearer.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the walkers and everyone involved who made this event possible. You did an incredible job!

AMSTERDAM'S 2023 WALKERS

"I never thought I would be able to complete 24 hours, but I loved every minute of it and proud that we have been able to raise so much money!”"

- Barbara Tjen

"24 The Planet was not only a fundraiser for a good cause but also a social gathering with like-minded individuals. The organization ensured we were entertained every two hours, making the 24 hours fly by. Besides a few blisters and mild muscle pain, I especially enjoyed lots of laughter and meeting new people."

- Lilian van Riel

"One of the most rewarding and challenging things I have done in my life."

- Alexander Chatzakis

"24 The Planet is an unique concept for raising money and creating awareness at the same time for global climate change. In addition, the positive vibes I got from all walkers, volunteers and supporters for both editions I participated, I will not forget."

- Alain Heunen

"What a vibe and what an experience! I definitely underestimated the fact that a 24 hour walk is pretty though. But we celebrated every hour that went by with all the walkers and so many supporting friends and family that it felt like a walk in the park 😉! So go safe the planet and join this challenge, I promise you, you won't regret it!"
