Charlotte Hofman

My name is Charlotte Hofman, I am 49 years old and I live with my family in Blerick.

In April 2023, I suffered a cerebral infarction and since then I have been living with the consequences of this. In my case, acquired brain injury (NAH) has a major impact on my daily life. My life was busy, a family, an intensive job in education and I also liked to play sports.

Now my life consists of rehabilitation, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and a lot of rest. I can’t deal with a lot of stimuli anymore. Information processing and executive functions are not the same as they used to be. However, I had already planned in March 2023 to participate in the venloop in 2024, I had already bought the shoes. However, I didn’t dare to pick up running on my own, which is why, after consultation with the physiotherapist, I signed up for the dream team. Exercising together seems to work, fortunately I can also handle sports physically. So far, the training sessions are the 2 best activities I have every week. I’m really looking forward to it. I experience exercising in the open air as very nice. Fortunately, I already have some running experience. I have run the 10 km / venloop several times in recent years.
