My fight against Leukemia / Mijn gevecht tegen Leukemie     - by Rick Haan
Be yourself, life is too short to be someone else

A new start....

At the end of my first treatment, I was granted a wish through Make-A-Wish. My wish was to go to LA with my parents and brother. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this couldn't happen.

So, I came up with a new wish. My wish was to have a super fun day with the whole family on Grandpa's and my birthday. And it turned out to be absolutely amazing!

We were all picked up in a vintage Silver Eagle bus and went for lunch at a beautiful location where Grandpa and I received gifts. Then we all went paintballing and go-karting, and to wrap it up, we had a delicious dinner at an upscale restaurant. It was truly a fantastic day!! It felt like a closure of sorts and a new beginning...


With a lot of support from family, friends, and colleagues, I finally started to regain my strength and slowly, but surely, I started feeling a bit more like myself again.
