Fundación Nuestros Hijos has more than 30 years of experience contributing through different programs to help children and adolescents with cancer in Chile to have timely access to comprehensive care, thus collaborating with the improvement of survival and quality of life of survivors. FNH's success is based on a collaborative work approach between civil society and public and private health institutions, allowing a comprehensive delivery of services.
Fundación Nuestros Hijos joined the activity that toured the streets of 250 cities worldwide in order to raise awareness and raise the necessary funding for the global transit of this disease.
On Sunday, January 8, the third edition of the World Cancer Walk took place under the slogan "Cancer has no borders and neither do we". This campaign brought together more than 250 cities around the world in a day of walking to generate support for cancer patients, survivors and their families.
With the hashtag #WorldCancerWalk many participants shared on social networks the many postcards captured during the 24 hours of the activity. The official website of Walk for Cancer had an individual register in which each person committed to walk in the time block corresponding to their country, in the case of Chile the action took place between 12:00 and 13:00.
This year, fourteen non-profit organizations from around the world joined the initiative, including countries such as Australia, Belgium, Greece and the United States, among many others, with Fundación Nuestros Hijos being one of the Latin American civil society organizations present at the World Cancer Walk 2023.
Thank you for supporting childhood cancer awareness.
