| Introduction | I LOVE SKIING! a couple of years ago I tore my ACL. During the surgery my leg sustained ischemia, as a result of that I've severe muscle weakness in my right leg. I use an orthosis (a full leg brace from foot till hip) for pretty much everything, without it I can't walk or bear weight on my leg. I use a different orthosis for skiing, which is specially designed for me. After my fair share of mourning I found out that there still are a lot of things I CAN do. I used to be a ski racer before my surgery and in october 2009 I started skiing again. And now I'm racing again in the women standing category, LW3. As part of the development program I am supported by the Johan Cruijf foundation and the Dutch ski federation big shout out for them, but I still need sponsors to keep doing what I love. I'm in medical school, so one day I will be a doctor (hopefully ;)). It is here that I hope to keep you up to date on my training, racing and my life in general. Life is great and I'm enjoying every second. www.annikavandermeer.nl for more information Dutch website |
