Today, Holms Attachments manufactures and sells sweeper rollers, snow plows, and sweepers worldwide. Their products are used for snow removal, sand sweeping, and anti-slip measures, compatible with tractors, loaders, trucks, and excavators.

Barncancerfonden

Every day, a child in Sweden is diagnosed with cancer, and despite progress, childhood cancer remains one of the leading causes of death among children. For those who survive, many face long-term complications.

For over forty years, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund (Barncancerfonden) has been working to fight childhood cancer, contributing more than SEK 3.5 billion to research. This research helps develop gentler treatments and provides support to affected families.

Since 2008, Barncancerfonden has partnered with Vätternrundan and its sponsors to make the event more accessible and inclusive for everyone. Through the Ride of Hope initiative, between SEK 250,000 and 350,000 is raised each year for Barncancerfonden.

You can contribute by participating in Ride of Hope as a leader or rider, by rounding up your registration fee, or by using the donation button during registration. You can also encourage others to join this important initiative. Together, we can fight childhood cancer — because children and cancer should never go together.
