PRODYNA donates 5,000 euros for a good cause

PRODYNA donates 5,000 euros for a good cause
February 5, 2016

In 1983, parents whose children with cancer were being treated at the Children's Hospital of the University Hospital Frankfurt founded the association "Hilfe für krebskranke Kinder Frankfurt e.V.".

The goal of the founding members was to improve conditions for the young patients and their families in the inpatient and outpatient areas of the children's cancer clinic as well as to provide psychosocial and financial assistance. Thus, the association sees itself as an institution of those affected for those affected and offers unbureaucratic support and accompaniment for the sick children, adolescents and young adults and for their siblings, parents and other relatives.In 1994, the association established its "Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer".

In the foundation's own research house, which opened in 2005 and is adjacent to the association's family center and in the immediate vicinity of the university hospital, research is being conducted into the causes of and to improve the chances of recovery for children and young people with cancer, with the aim of improving the chances of success in treatment.

David Wainwright, Marketing Manager at PRODYNA, presented the donation check in the amount of 5,000 euros to Rudolf Starck, Managing Director of the association and its foundation. The current board members, the managing director and many of the employees of the association are themselves affected and know what it means to have to live with the diagnosis "Your child has cancer".At the handing over of the donation, David Wainwright announced a cooperation between the association as well as his foundation and PRODYNA: "We have a large number of young athletes in our company, who appreciate the challenge and are always happy to accept it. In this course PRODYNA would like to call on its own employees to take part in a company-internal challenge in order to be able to support the association and its foundation financially in the future."
