The project
From idea to execution
We all have our fantasies or beautiful dreams. So do we. We have a dream to make a long journey and take a sabbatical leave. We want to leave all things behind and do something completely different. But how do you get from an idea to realization? And how do you make sure that all uncertainties will not undermine your beautiful dream? As many others, we have some certainties in our lives that we thought are irreplaceable. When we became the parents of Fenna we concluded, that there was no way that in the next 10 years we were able to do long hiking tours. Visions of ‘all inclusive resorts’ soon entered our thoughts and were almost close to reality. Others questioned us: “It this what kids enjoy most?” But we could not get enthusiastic about these sort of holidays. Also, we have employers that count on us; Fenna has a nice place in daycare that she absolutely loves and we have some savings to pay for our mortgage. And what about our two cats, we cannot leave them behind. So, enough rational reasons to forget about the journey, but once you’ve caught the pelgrim’s virus, you will never get rid of it. So it started to itch again….. Cycling from Huizen to Santiago de Compostela and backWe leave on April 1, 2010 on our bikes (with a child trailer for Fenna) from Huizen, via Vezelay through France to Valencia and from there through the inlands of Spain (the Camino de Levante) to Santiago de Compostela. From there, we will cycle back to Huizen. We will be gone for four and a half months. When we get home, we cycled approximately 6000 km!

Sander
Hallo lezers van wielenopweg.nl, wat leuk dat jullie ook interesse tonen in deze mooie website! Echt een super goed initiatief en ik als MS-patiënt ben er natuurlijk maar wat blij mee!
Ik ben Sander, 24 jaar en op dit moment weer woonachtig bij mijn ouders in Almelo. Na anderhalf jaar allerlei onderzoeken in verschillende ziekenhuizen te hebben doorstaan, werd begin augustus 2009 bij mij de diagnose Multiple Sclerose gesteld.
Lonneke
Ik ben Lonneke, 28 jaar, en ik heb MS. Poeh, dat staat even zwart op wit zo. Ben er nog steeds niet helemaal aan gewend dat de term Multiple Sclerose en ik bij elkaar horen.
