Frans does everything he can to keep moving and enjoying himself

Frans van der Kruk is active, social and a water fanatic through and through. Not the type to languish in a corner. Not even now that he has Parkinson's. So the Scharendijke resident is participating in the Parkinson's Exercise Day. "But really, it's a shitty disease." Lennen Jonker of Fysant initiated the initiative, though several other organizations are now participating. "I enjoy running myself, and I find it difficult to see people struggling to move. It's a very unpleasant condition. So if you can give them a good day and get them moving, at least that's something you can do. That's how I try to contribute."
