Outdoor Medals – For Adventure Achievements

Outdoor Medals is the premier destination for celebrating extraordinary adventure achievements in hiking and biking. Established in 2023 by Leroy van Steenis and Fabienne Scheffer-van Steenis, our company is dedicated to recognizing and rewarding individuals who push their limits in the great outdoors.

Our story

Mission

At Outdoor Medals, we believe that every Camino adventure, big or small, deserves recognition. We understand the immense dedication, perseverance, and passion it takes to conquer challenging trails and reach new heights. Our mission is to honor these exceptional accomplishments by offering a precisely crafted medal that serves as a symbol of triumph and a testament to the unbeatable spirit of adventurers. Together with the bikers and hikers, we aim to contribute not only to providing fantastic experiences but also to furthering cancer research efforts.

Reward your achievement

We’re proud to offer medals that celebrate your Camino adventure. Whether you’ve hiked tough trails, or gone on long bike rides along the Camino, we have the perfect medal for you. Our medal is carefully made to last and tell the story of your amazing journey.

Passion for the outdoors

Outdoor Medals was born out of Leroy and Fabienne’s shared passion for the outdoors and their belief in the transformative power of adventure. Leroy, who personally completed the Santiago de Compostela route on June 3, 2023, finishing it in less than 5 weeks, knows firsthand the immense satisfaction that comes from conquering nature’s challenges and the sense of accomplishment that follows. Motivated by a noble cause, Leroy began this journey to raise money for cancer research, driven by his personal connection to the cause as both of his parents-in-law have been affected by a rare cancer.

Through their entrepreneurial spirit and love for the outdoors, Leroy and Fabienne established Outdoor Medals, providing a platform to honor fellow adventurers and contribute to advancing cancer research for the cancers Fabienne’s parents are battling. Outdoor Medals will donate 5 euros per medal sold to the AVL Foundation, specifically to two departments: one dedicated to rare breast cancer research and the other focused on advancing knowledge about Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (NEC). By supporting Outdoor Medals, you are not only celebrating your own adventurous spirit but also contributing to a meaningful cause that aims to improve the lives of those affected by these challenging illnesses. Together, let’s make a difference! For more information, please visit the AVL Foundation website: More information AVL Foundation
