Zoë werd toen ze 4 maanden oud was levenloos in bed aangetroffen op de opvang. Ze is 20 minuten gereanimeerd en met de traumahelikopter naar het Radboudumc in Nijmegen gebracht. Daar werd ze in kunstmatige coma gehouden. Een week lang wisten we niet of ze het zou gaan halen. Ze heeft ernstig hersenletsel als gevolg van zuurstoftekort. Ze heeft Cerebrale Parese, dystonie en CVI. Motorisch loopt ze erg achter. Naast de reguliere therapieën volgen we ook ABM therapie. Dit speelt in op de hersenplasticiteit, zorgt voor nieuwe bewegingspatronen. Hierdoor ontwikkelt ze en zit ze veel beter in haar vel! Helaas wordt dit (nog) niet vergoed. De therapie kost ons €3000 per jaar. Heel erg bedankt!

Batten (ook wel kinderdementie) is een zeldzame en fatale stofwisselingsziekte bij kinderen. Als je kind Batten heeft, lijkt er tot ongeveer het 5e jaar niets aan de hand. Daarna volgt een opeenstapeling van problemen: ernstig verlies van gezichtsvermogen, aanvallen van epilepsie, geheugenverlies en dementie, kinderen komen in een rolstoel terecht, verliezen de mogelijkheid te communiceren en onvermijdelijk volgt het overlijden van het kind, meestal tussen het 15e en 25e levensjaar. In Nederland wordt 1 op de 50.000 kinderen getroffen door Batten. Wereldwijd is dat 1 op de 25.000 kinderen. Stichting Beat Batten financiert onderzoek voor een wereld zonder kinderdementie. www.beatbatten.nl

In 2006 is de oprichter begonnen met voetballen met straatkinderen in ‘de stad van de eeuwige lente’ Medellin, Colombia. Na verloop van tijd deed een grote groep kinderen structureel mee. Toen kwam de vraag vanuit de kinderen: ‘Zouden we kunnen voetballen in een officiële competitie?’ ‘Daar wil ik mijn best voor doen, maar dan wil ik dat jullie naar school gaan.’ was zijn antwoord. Zo is de stichting gestart met één jongens- en één meisjesteam. Het was het begin van de stichting Children of Medellín. Nu, in 2022 staat educatie nog steeds centraal, we hebben 500 kinderen in 14 verschillende activiteiten, en wij geven de kans aan jongeren om na de middelbare school een vervolgopleiding te kunnen volgen.
