Celebrating Xmas 2002 with my husband Bart Verdegaal, not knowing that one week later he would get Meningitis, and certainly not knowing that he would subsequently pass away a few weeks thereafter as the father of our 15-month-old twins.

Celebrating Christmas 2016 in Washington DC with my family and my dear friend Matthijs Malessy, not knowing that 10 weeks later I would be struck by a virus causing Encephalitis and have to fight for my life for the remainder of the year.

Given that we are all facing a 2020 Christmas under COVID-19 circumstances, it would be great if you could consider supporting ItsME. As an individual, perhaps in addition to or instead of giving each other regular presents. As a company, perhaps as the choice for your annual charity donation.

“The power of we is stronger than the power of me.
