We’d like to give a huge congratulations to Peter Verhoeven on his appointment as Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau, a Dutch order of chivalry for people who have rendered outstanding service to society. Peter was nominated for his incredible work in supporting people affected by vasculitis, which includes his leading role in the Vasculitis Stichting (The Netherlands) and the foundation of Vasculitis International, two vasculitis patient organisations we work closely with.
