Volunteers in the spotlight
Robert Karel Hemminga
Volunteer Support Casper since 2015
2010 was a life-changing year for us. In April I ran the Rotterdam Marathon; a month later, my wife Diny was diagnosed with cancer. The Amphia Hospital in Breda could no longer offer treatment, but Erasmus MC might still have options.
Between 2010 and 2015 we travelled to Rotterdam regularly, where the team did everything possible to help her. The care and warmth shown by Professor Van Eijck’s department, particularly his secretary Monica, meant a great deal to us. Through Diny I became involved with Stichting Overleven met Alvleesklierkanker and Support Casper. After she died in 2015, volunteering for Support Casper became an important part of rebuilding my life.
Angelique Schrammeijer
Volunteer Support Casper since 2019
My name is Angelique Schrammeijer and I have volunteered for Support Casper since November 2019.
I already knew the foundation through my passion for Feyenoord, but my connection is also personal. My father was diagnosed in autumn 2015. Time seems to stop when you hear that news, and life becomes a rollercoaster. Thanks to Professor Casper van Eijck and his team, my father underwent surgery quickly. He died in May 2018, but we had far longer together than initially expected. I remain grateful for that time and for the many precious memories we made.
Research is essential if pancreatic cancer is to become a manageable chronic disease, and I want to help. As a volunteer, I supported the Christmas concert featuring Inspire2LiveChoir under conductor Peter Overduin and saw them perform again at an event at the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk. I also helped prepare The Dutch 750 cycling event in Egmond aan Zee, which raises money for Support Casper and Make-A-Wish. Its first edition was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but I look forward to helping again whenever I can.
