We extended our physical exercise programme to two new hospitals: Gregorio Marañón and 12 de Octubre in Madrid, and of course we continue to extend the benefits of this programme to the Niño Jesús hospital, where we have been implementing it for years.
It is widely supported by medical professionals and health studies that physical exercise brings multiple benefits to children suffering from cancer. Improvements related to their state of mind, minimisation of the side effects of chemo and radiotherapy treatment… In short, there are many reasons for our foundation to support this type of activity and there is nothing better than to do it for the fun and enjoyment of our little warriors.
The person in charge of carrying out the programme in these hospitals is Laura, a doctor in Physical Activity and Health, who has joined our family of aladinos and whom we would like to welcome.
