\"\"Here is the story of a volunteer who has experienced ALS up close.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had no doubt whether I would be available as a volunteer for the Meerdaags Wandelevenement Venray! For me two important things from my life are coming together here: walking and the ALS charity.<\/p>\n

In 2014 I lost my mother to thIs severe disease. A strong, active 71-year-old woman had to accept that within a few months after the diagnosis, she had become wheelchair-bound, had increasing difficulty talking and needed help from someone else all the time. And she really loved walking! The plan was another pilgrimage to Santiago, but unfortunately it has not happened. It became another pilgrimage\u2026 But the limitations could not undermine her mental strength. She remained strong, could still enjoy the little things and gather other people around her. This was also something necessary, as she wanted to stay in her own environment in Velden as long as possible.<\/p>\n

Although it has been a very sad period and I didn\u2019t want to lose my mother yet, I look back with a positive feeling as well. This special period made me, as a daughter and caregiver, realise how helpful people can and want to be. Asking for help is giving the other the opportunity to be meaningful to you\u2026 In this period that became a reality several times a day.<\/p>\n

But I also experienced that a lot of things had to be arranged, sorted out, looked after and supervised. I didn\u2019t hate doing it, but it took so much time! Time I would rather have spent otherwise. Shouldn\u2019t it be possible to do it in a different way?<\/p>\n

After my mother\u2019s death, I thought about this and decided that I wanted to use my experience to support and guide other caregivers. This is what I do nowadays, as an independent caregiver agent. I try to ensure that the valuable time can be used to make beautiful memories together. I can take over what the caregiver experiences as a burden, like arranging, sorting out, calling institutions, etc. This way I create clarity, overview and tranquillity in a mostly hectic period when it comes to a severe disease like ALS.<\/p>\n

So ALS has got a special place in my life and walking is a wonderful activity that still brings me close to my mother. That is why I am now a volunteer in the route committee. We do our utmost to put together the most beautiful routes for the participants in the lovely surroundings of Venray. Hopefully this will lead to a nice number of participants, so a lot of money will be raised for the Stichting ALS Nederland. So, hopefully, the disease can be stopped at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

I wish you a lot of walking pleasure! If you would like to know more about what I can do for you as a caregiver agent, feel free to take a look at my website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kind regards,
\nMirjam Hoogland-Verspaij<\/strong><\/p>\n
