Thanks to your contribution, we continue to support more children with cancer!
The year 2018 ended with a beautiful Christmas party for children with cancer and their families. This is how we met in a huge farm on the outskirts of Bogotá, to have an unforgettable field day. The children, their parents, and their little brothers enjoyed live music, food, gifts, games, raffles and much more. The Christmas party was the best excuse to remember families that they are not alone, that many other children, like their children, fight against cancer; and that along with them there is a family that tries hard, that does not lose the hope of seeing their children victorious. This day we made the 7th version of the Courage and Love of a Child with Cancer award. 13 children applied, among whom a jury chose 3 finalists. The winner was Daniel, who was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin lymphoma at the beginning of 2018. He is a child full of dreams. He is a child full of dreams, one of them is being able to be a professional footballer, as well as a day to return to Venezuela to visit his family. For he has won this award represents a winner and he is sure that he is going to overcome his illness. The children received medals from the Foundation for being the bravest children, also tickets to the cinema and a Make a Wish bonus to fulfill their dream to the winner.
