Toe talk

Goodmorning guys,

Just a short update concerning 'the toe' and a few links. I am happy to report that my toe is actually healing quite well. A lot better than the last time they cut off the nail in December. It is still a bit sore but is doesn't bleed like crazy anymore and I have taken off the bandages. I can stand on my foot and walk around. I haven't worn shoes yet but will try that later on today and I am positive about being back in training by monday. So that is really good news right?

for my Dutch readers I have a link I wanted to share with you guys. If you have been thinking about running or living a more healthy life but you haven't had the strength to get started on your own than you might want to check out this TV program: operatieNLfit Please remember I'm not getting paid or anything to promote this show but I think it is a great opportunity for everybody. I will follow this show as it runs.

It has been a while since I have specifically mentioned why I ventured on this journey called Damloop and after that half marathon of Amsterdam. I run for ZZF. It is an organisation that funds research on rare diseases such as Neuralgic Amyotrophy. This rare disease hits children onder the age of five more frequently than it hits adults but since I have been through two attacks of it I can tell you that the pain is overwhelmingly intens and nearly unbearable. I asked my own husband to put a pillow on my face because I just didn't want to feel the pain anymore. Now imagine it is your child suffering that kind of pain and after that the consequences of the dead nerves in her neck like not being able to lift your own arms anymore. It is a rare disease and therefore easily dismissed by doctors that literally ignore you and tell you it is just a muscle ache. If we want to know more about this disease we have to get money for research. It has been a while since the last donation and I really do want to get to my 300euro goal. It is only 80 more euro's and every single donation no matter how big or small is welcome. So please help me and ZZF to fight rare diseases and donate RIGHT HERE

As always until we read again

Love Marlies

The will to succeed....

Hi y'all, The world is filled with wishes, dreams, hopes and fears and I'm happy this tiny orb has all of m and yet that longing, that need, that hope for things to happen or maybe even the fear for them won't ever make anything happen. A dream alone will get you through a dark time but it won't make the night go away. Hope for better times will provide you with some sort of elastic band that might stretch a little further but it won't get you over that gap. A wish is nothing more than a whisper over candle light or a shooting star blasted into a universe that knows no sound and fears are the seeimingly unbreakable ties your mind has you wrapped in. The world won't give you anything, the universe can't hear you. People might and hopefully your mind will. Did you ever experience the absolute need to do something, no doubts nor fears about weather or not you're able to? That is exactly how I felt the first time I started training for a marathon. I wanted...

Out with the old

 Hi y'all, I can't believe we're actually here again. Another year coming to a close. A year in which I started a new job, a year that took al the strength some of our dearest friends had in order for them to survive, A year that taught us caution and a year that made us realize friends are there for each other in good times as much as they need to be when someone is scattered like a broken puzzle. A year in which we learned how a pandemic changes the world and marks all of the people that went through and survived it when maybe their loved ones didn't. A year that showed us the good and the horrid face of humanity facing huge losses. A year that helped some of the people we hold so dear take a stand for themselves and stand up for their own life. A year that just yesterday made all words obsolote when it took the dad and near-to-be-ex-husband of three beautiful people in my love's family. Words just completely left the earth and nothing else matters but the silence...

I will run the Damloop 2013 for ZZF

To my dear Dutch donating friends and all other readers, A new blog. It has been a while since I blogged about anything so why start now? I am fortunate enough to be one of many runners of the famous Dutch Damloop and I've taken on this 10 mile run as fundraiser for a very good cause. They're called Stichting Zeldzame Ziekten Fonds This organisations' main goal is to raise money for research on rare diseases such as Kawasaki's disease and Neuralgic Amyotrophie. Why this organisation when there are so many others? Well that is easy: Since little is known about those rare diseases research needs to be done. As we all know research is expansive and since everybody has to make budget cuts the research on these rare diseases is likely to be put on hold. But did you know in Holland most patients of a rare disease are children? And did you know that most rare diseases are life threatning or leave you (severely) impared? Did you know that in Holland 30% of the children s...
