MediCooler in ReumaMagazine: The story of founder Pieter van Leijen

We are proud to share that our founder Pieter van Leijen is featured in the latest issue of ReumaMagazine ! In an inspiring article, written by Noortje Krikhaar, Pieter openly talks 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 experience on a daily basis: safe and worry-free travel with cooled medication. MediCooler was born from this and 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 of MediCooler. His experience as a top athlete, combined with the challenges of living with axial SpA, inspired him to create a product that not only helped him, but now supports thousands of people worldwide.

In the article, Pieter tells about the time he was forced to store his medication in a butcher shop during competitions because there were no other options. It was that moment that made him realize how important it is to develop a solution that allows people to always have their cooled medication at hand – without stress.
