We are proud to share that our founder Pieter van Leijen features in the latest issue of ReumaMagazine! In an inspiring article written by Noortje Krikhaar, Pieter talks openly about his journey: from European sailing champion to the challenges of living with axial SpA (a form of rheumatism), and how these experiences led to the founding of MediCooler.
The article shows how Pieter turned his personal challenges into a mission to solve a problem that many people with chronic conditions face every day: travelling safely and without worry with refrigerated medication. This is how MediCooler came about, and it has since grown into an indispensable solution for people all over the world.

The personal story behind MediCooler
Pieter’s story in ReumaMagazine gives a unique look behind the scenes at MediCooler. His experience as an elite athlete, combined with the challenges of living with axial SpA, inspired him to create a product that not only helped himself, but now supports thousands of people worldwide.
In the article, Pieter talks, for example, about the time when, during competitions, he had no choice but to store his medication at a butcher's shop because there were no other options. It was that moment that made him realise how important it is to develop a solution that lets people always have their refrigerated medication to hand – without stress.
