GOAL ACHEIVED: THE EXERCISE BICYCLES ARE NOW IN THE FOUNDATION’S FLATS!!

Thanks to your generosity, we have easily beaten our target and with the extra funds we intend to purchase several DVD’s for all the flats. In this way, the patients will be able to enjoy the best films of the moment during their recuperation.

As we have explained, the “with 5 and on wheels” campaign was supported by the DiR Foundation, who designed an exercise programme that will help the patients to recover both physically and emotionally. Together with the exercise the patients will find a copy of this programme, which is also available to download for use at the patient’s convenience. In coalition with the José Carreras Foundation, the DiR Foundation have also donated three exercise bikes, that they use in their gyms, to the ICO centres in Hospitalet and Badalona, where many patients will be enjoy the benefit of using sporting equipment of such a high quality.

Below, you can see several of the photos taken by our colleague Esther (responsible for the welfare flats) during the installation of the bikes.
