Just in Time 4 Heroes Foundation
It is often said that losing a child is the absolute worst thing to experience. Unfortunately, Barbara van Ommeren can attest to this from experience. What remains are the precious memories. That is why they are the focus of the foundation she founded with her friends after the death of her son Justin, Just in Time 4 Heroes (JiT4H).
Just in Time 4 Heroes is committed to offering as many children as possible with a short life expectancy a vacation on Terschelling together with their families. Being ‘complete’ and making unforgettable memories are central.
From Justin’s birth, Barbara and her husband knew that Justin would only be with them for a short time. Doctors said he would live to be 4 years at most. Fortunately, they were given another 11 beautiful years of memories as a gift. Terschelling has always been healing for Justin. He felt almost “better” there. Justin was at his best at Terschelling.
She knows how it feels
Jit4H Foundation was born out of love and friendship, but what makes this foundation different is that everything is based from Barbara and her family’s own experiences. Justin passed away on October 14, 2016 at the age of 15. Barbara wanted to turn her grief into love and positivity and help others with her experiences and making memories together. All this combined with her beloved island of Terschelling.
More families
Now the foundation brings 10 families a year to Terschelling for a midweek, they come in contact with the families through children’s hospitals or other care institutions. They would like to bring more families to Terschelling. Their dream is to have their own adapted home on Terschelling in the future, so that families can use it all year round to make wonderful memories together.

Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds
Powerful against muscle diseases
The Princess Beatrix Spierfonds is committed to people with a muscle disease in the Netherlands. There are over 200,000 of them. It is our goal to eradicate all muscular diseases from the world. Our most important tool in this fight is scientific research. We fund and encourage research into cures and quality of life for people with muscular diseases at this time. Together with international experts, we carefully weigh which research we fund. That way, everyone who contributes can be sure that their money and effort are of real value. Invaluable value. We can do all of this thanks to donations and the efforts of volunteers.
What research can mean
We know it can. For Pompe disease, with our help, a drug has been developed that saves lives. But there are still 599 muscle diseases to go. This will require further scientific research, which means time and money. By raising as many funds as possible, we can do more research. More research offers more chance of results in less time. It’s that simple.
