Being mobile. It seems so common, but is not self-evident to everyone. Around 600 muscle diseases make exercise difficult to impossible. The Wervershoofse Sandra Botman, herself affected by a muscle disease, starts an action for the Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds. Hand in your old mobile phones at various sports and wellness centers in The Netherlands and help out.
Old mobile phones are worth money. In the month of May you can deposit them in the boxes in Sports and Wellness Center De Dars in Wervershoof, Sports and Wellness Center De Bloesem in Wognum and the seven branches of Fitnessclub Nederland. The proceeds go to the Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds.
In motion for the muscle fund
Sandra Botman (49) is HR employee at De Dars in Wervershoof, De Bloesem in Wognum and the seven branches of Fitnessclub Nederland. Sports centers where people train their muscles daily. How ironic that she got the diagnosis FOSMN at the end of last year. A rare muscle disease that slowly breaks down the muscles in the face and upper body, causing premature death. As with almost all muscle diseases, there is no medication. The Princess Beatrix Spierfonds and the UMC Utrecht are doing research to cure muscle diseases in the future. That requires a lot of money.
Collect cell phones
Instead of getting down to it, Sandra comes into action.
“As long as my head is still working, I keep moving. Even if that would not go physically anymore. The link between muscle diseases and the sports centers was soon established. I wanted to do something with that. My employers Ton Schouten, Inge Schouten and Judith Vijfwinkel were immediately ahead. We can use the 9 branches to collect a lot of mobile phones. The promotion is valid throughout the month of May. ”
