A bit enchanted by the wife of Maarten van der Weijden

And then your husband says he wants to swim the Elfstedentocht. Swimming, which according to former Elfstedentocht skaters is much harder than skating. Maarten van der Weijden is currently in the middle of his second attempt and still ten kilometers away from the finish, and he calls his wife, who follows every meter, crucial. That beautiful presence, who talked Maarten back into the water when he wanted to give up last year. Honestly, you want to know who that is.

• Her name is Daisy and she is 34 years old.
• She used to swim too, she even made it to the top ten, but a bit at the bottom of the top ten (those are her own words).
• Daisy studied in Utrecht and has two master's degrees in educational sciences.
• In Ghent, she also spent a year studying law.
• At the spot where Maarten had to give up last year, he received an extra stamp from Daisy and their daughters Phileine and Robien this time.
• Daisy has a wish for herself: once the swim is over, she would like to go on a world trip with Maarten and their daughters.
• Daisy runs the company Beter.nu together with her husband Maarten. They are committed to organizations that help others improve.
• She lives with her husband and daughters in Waspik, Brabant.
• And keep an eye on the TV later, because you will definitely see her when Maarten crosses that finish line.
