Yesterday we gave together with Patty van Belle (SABI: Supporting Survivors and Caregivers after Brain Injury (Hooi op je vork)) Hetty Driesen, Kiki Nortier and Shanon Schouten (Odion) a presentation about SABI (Hooi op je vork) during a theme meeting from NAH netwerk Kennemerland in Zandvoort
We gave a presentation how the ideas of SABI (Hooi op je vork) , which we have known for years, inspired us to look at opportunities, and rehabilitation after Cees his stroke

15 ½ years ago we decided to give up our permanent job. After brainstorming and looking at possibilities we decided (after a challenging assignment that came to us) to start our own company: Blankers-Hage V.O.F. started on February 1, 2003. After a period of about 4 years with alternating temporary agency work, and work for our own company, the work for Blankers-Hage became more and more, so there was no time for temporary work.

The work in the Netherlands and Estonia was increasing, and many challenging activities came to our way. On August 1, 2015 we were proud that we could celebrate our 12.5 year jubilee of Blankers-Hage V.O.F in Estonia. A good running company with many nice and challenging activities in the Netherlands and Estonia.

Not knowing what would happen a few days later.

After the severe cerebral infarction in early August 2015 and a year later the small cerebral hemorrhage of Cees, Blankers-Hage still exists. Formally under Rini's name, it is still emotionally our company where Cees has a large share in involvement, advice, presentations and in Estonia together with Rini trainings.

Cees is still moving forward, which we are very happy with, and the end is not yet in sight.

People said: Cees will never give training again. We thought and think differently, and experience has already proven that. By fighting and looking at opportunities you get far. Cees is an example for many people with and without non born brain injury.

On this day we do not look back to the last 2.5 years, but we are proud of the past 15 years and we toast the future of Blankers-Hage with and of the two of us.

Cheers!!!!!

Cees and Rini
