Over one of August weekends, the sports facilities of Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw hosted the 6th International Sports Games “ONCO-OLYMPICS 2016” for children suffering from cancer. The games were organised by the “Fulfilled Dreams Foundation” in co-operation with their partners and sponsors, and for the third time with the Duval Foundation. Besides the financial contribution, which has already become a tradition, the staff and friends of the Duval Foundation joined in as volunteers during the few days’ event, this time taking care of the Romanian team. The participants were children and youth from 15 oncology centres in Poland and five other European countries: Lithuania, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Ukraine. The „ONCO-OLYMPICS 2016” gathered the total of 180 contestants. As usual, this Onco-Olympics was a very touching moment and tremendous experience for us. [...]
We are very sensitive to the extremely poor living conditions of mothers and children staying in the Single Mother’s Centre in Warsaw in 2, Skierdowska Street.
