Hi,



I am Ronald Boekhoorn, and I’m a Nerdfighter. In October 2011 I was the victim of street violence (some kids didn’t react all too kindly on me saying something about the noise they were making in the middle of the night), and early 2012 I got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The first thing made me lose faith in humanity, the second made me nearly lose the will to carry on living. In my online search for distraction, hope, and purpose, I found Nerdfighteria.



The whole atmosphere that Nerdfighteria spread, and the people I met through becoming part of it, has revived me in oh so many ways. For a while now I have been looking into ways for me to thank Nerdfighteria for this. And I did in some small ways. But now I won a competition that gives me the option to do it on a large scale. AND do it during the Project 4 Awesome, thus helping charity as well.



I wanna make selfies with as many nerdfighters from all over the world as possible. During the P4A. And then make a poster out of it that will be pre-sold for the P4A as well. Thus generating money for charity! And showing everybody that Nerdfighters are everywhere, and we are ONE WORLD!



I have explained it all in more detail in this older Tumblr-post, where I also update the FAQ.

But if you are a nerdfighter, and you want to participate, and you have (the possiblity to use) a smartphone or a digital camera on December 12th/13th, mail me at selfienerdfighters@gmail.com with your name and country (and state/province/territory in case of the USA/Canada)



Oh, and please share this post. And add cool tags. I am not the Tumblr-expert I wish I was. ;)
