Freiburg University Children's Cancer Foundation

Freiburg University Children's Cancer Foundation coverage on MDS (Marathon Des Sables) website - http://www.darbaroud.com/detail.php?pub=132&langue=en

"Brigid Wefelnberg (D - 461) will be running - for the second year
the Marathon des Sables. In addition to her normal job, she is the sports embassader at the Freiburg University Children's Clinic and support families from all over West and East Europe who accomany thier children with cancer, not only the children suffering from various forms of Cancer themselves, but also the parents and siblings in very difficult moments during therapy at the University Children's Clinic..

It's the Children's Cancer Foundation of the Freiburg University
Children's Clinic (in German: "Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder der
Uni Freiburg").

The foundation finances the accomodation in Freiburg and the entire stay
of effected families whose children are struck with this horrible
disease, as this promotes the healing to have the family nearby. Much of
the donations are invested in Cancer research, a big focus at the
University of Freiburg and its various Hospitals in the vicinity.

Brigid will be collecting money for the Foundation before and after the
Marathon des Sables."
