We will persevere with this purpose until hopefully no child is left without the best option that medicine, according to progress, can offer for the treatment and cure of this disease. We are convinced that God and Colombian society will support us in this endeavor and endorse with our signature the birth of SANAR." This fact is documented in the book "Science has a limit, Love doesn´t", published on December 2006 on the occasion of the 20 years of the Foundation, ( a copy of some of the pages of this book are attached, including the prologue written by Father Javier De Nicoló, friend of the Foundation, who rests in eternal life). The President of SANAR, Luis Guillermo Ángel Correa has been persistent maintaining this foundational aspect throughout the years. He is a man of faith and experienced firsthand the drama of cancer in his family, always finding God at each stage of the process as he expresses in a valuable testimony that we attach to this document. In the most difficult moments, SANAR has always found a guiding light and has witnessed miracles that have allowed it to continue its work despite the difficulties. Loyal to the will of our founders, an annual day of re-induction has been established in which all the employees of the Foundation participate and the Christian origins of SANAR are remembered, ending the day with a Eucharist to give thanks for the achievements and commend the Lord the resolutions for the New Year and the intentions of our benefactors, collaborators, volunteers and donors.
