On Sunday 11 November, Poland’s Independence Day, the green team of 8 MAEM employees took part in the run for Prof. Janusz Skalski’s Schola Cardis Children’s Cardiac Surgery Foundation.
We run to celebrate!
On 11 November 2018 Poland celebrated the 100th anniversary of regaining its independence and reappearing on the world map as an independent state after 123 years of partitions. This is an exceptional date for us, so we are very proud that our employees ran 88 km together and, what’s more, thus celebrated that important day.
For our employees, physical activity means not only to get together and keep healthy but also to help local communities. The idea of taking part in the charity run in support of Krakow-based Schola Cardis Children’s Cardiac Surgery Foundation emerged from that. We are happy to be among 3000 runners who could mark the 100th anniversary of Poland regaining its independence in such an unusual way, helping children at the same time.
The main aim of the foundation is to increase the number of children treated for congenital heart diseases. Other goals include purchase of specialist medical equipment and enhancement of the quality of treatment at cardiac surgery, cardiology and transplantation departments.
We run to help!
