2 weeks since arriving at Santiago de Compostela
If you have not seen it yet, please go back to the previous blog and have a look at the video made by Suzanne and Aafke. Every time I look at it, it makes me feel so happy!
What also makes me happy is looking at the counter at the right side of this web page. Haven't we been able to raise an incredible amount of money? And more importantly, we raised awareness about rare chromosome disorders and how difficult it is for parents not knowing what the future will hold for their child.
It has now been 2 weeks since I arrived in Santiago de Compostela after a long and impressive walk of 1200 km dedicted to the chromosome 6 project. Full of valuable memories from the beginning to the end ...
I have now been home and working for 2 weeks. Again completely immersed in the "normal" life with its ups and downs, just as the camino has had its ups and downs (but above all a lot of ups).
What remains are the memories, the photos (lots of photos) and my blog. And of course my full stamp cards (credencials) and Compostela (certificate).
The beautiful videos that Suzanne and Aafke have made have also become wonderful memories. Just like the departure and arrival videos from Pauline. Thank you all very much for that!
How much did I enjoy my 1200 km walk, my Camino! Nature, culture, meetings, conversations, simply being on the road ...
It is actually impossible to explain. It was a fantastic experience.
A final thank you to everyone who has walked with me, in person or virtually by reading this blog. A thank you to my fellow camino-goers who listened to me, gave tips, shared their stories with me or with whom I laughed. Especially a thank you to those who have shared my sponsorship with friends and family (in many languages).
A thank you to all hospitaleros and volunteers, their welcome was often heartwarming. A thank you for the behind-the-scenes sponsor team. And of course a huge thank you to all sponsors who make miracles happen. A very sincere thank you to my boss, who gave me a sabbatical. And finally a sweet thank you to my husband, who gave me the space and encouragement to go.
