Serious Request has raised nearly €3 million for Metakids on its first day, surpassing last year’s total. The initiative, taking place in Zwolle, aims to support research on metabolic diseases in children. DJ Wijnand Speelman has already contributed significantly by raising over €214,000 through a double marathon. The event, which encourages donations in exchange for song requests, has evolved with schools and individuals also organizing fundraising activities.
