Anniversary in Maria Wörth: 15 years of hope for children with cancer!
A moving anniversary was celebrated in Maria Wörth: 15 years of support for families with children with cancer. This was recently honored in the cozy ambience of Café Bistro Kolbenpost, where numerous guests, including Mayor Markus Perdacher and Tourism Director Claudia Bleier, came together to celebrate together. The focus was particularly on close cooperation with the Vienna-Lower Austria-Burgenland Children's Cancer Aid, which has been tirelessly offering help and hope to affected families for years meinkreis.at reported.
A special highlight of the celebration was the speech by René Mulle, chairman of the children's cancer charity. He emphasized how valuable time off is for affected families. These “islands of peace” allow families to switch off for a while, away from hospital stays and therapies. Max Pokorny, initiator and hotelier, expressed his gratitude for the tradition that has formed around this special place and the positive effect that such breaks have on families.
Together for a better future
In his speech, Mayor Perdacher paid tribute to the important supporters of children's cancer aid, including many local hotels and businesses that are heavily involved through their donations and offers. These companies have agreed to help those affected:
- Seehotel Maria Wörth
- Apartments Pokorny
- Strandhotel Sille
- Villa Rader
- Hotel Rosmann
- Seepension Seenixe
- Hotel Seewirt
- Seeresidenz St. Anna
- Hotel Linde
- Peter Peschel (Goodiebags)
Another emotional moment of the celebration was the presentation of certificates of honor to the hosts and a funny caricature for the mayor and the tourism director. Max Pokorny also received a special miniature of his Hotel Seefels, lovingly made from Lego bricks.
Children's cancer support as an important contact point
The Vienna Children's Cancer Aid was founded in 1986 by affected parents with the aim of helping children with cancer and their relatives. The diagnosis of “cancer” brings with it profound changes in the lives of children and families, which is why the focus is not only on healing the child, but also on supporting the entire family kaerntner-kinderkrebshilfe.at summarizes. Emotional and social stress characterizes everyday life, which is why offers and support measures, such as psychosocial services and mobile support, are essential.
Similar to Germany, where parents' associations provide individual help and organize holiday offers, the children's cancer aid offers here also offer indispensable opportunities for families to retreat. In the region around Frankfurt there are also initiatives that are launching new vacation stays for affected families in order to create shorter vacation options during therapy, such as kinderkrebs-frankfurt.de explained.
The celebration in Maria Wörth once again showed that a lot can be achieved together, and supporting families with children with cancer will continue to be a matter of the heart in the future.
