Read Joergen Kjaer’s Speech (Danish)


Thank You for Being Our Friend

Charlotte Fich receives the Users Friend of the Year Award. An special nurse she helps users with health and injection issues and does so with compassion. This is the 7th year that the award has been given and Ms. Fich is the first woman to receive it.

Surprise Joergen

Joergen Kjaer is surprised with the Dr. Alderwright Award. For being a leader and role model for user advocates Mr. Kjaer has been the energy behind’s BF’s effectiveness. Not content with just Denmark Joergen has traveled to Norway and Sweden to encourage the organizing of other groups. Both BF Tonberg, BF Oslo and BF Sweden are testiment to his ability to create a network of Scandinavian countries. This is also a great honor as it has been a Dutch award and this is the first time it has not been given to someone in Holland.

Congratulations Joergen. We are proud of you!
