The "Krwinka" Foundation for Children with Cancer has been providing multi-faceted care to children with oncological and hematological diseases undergoing many months of therapy and their loved ones for over 27 years. As a parent organization, it responds to the comprehensive needs of entire cancer families, providing, among others: non-refundable financial "start-up aid", reimbursement of treatment and rehabilitation, social support and invaluable psychological and pedagogical assistance. Continuous, long-term help is possible thanks to the commitment of people with big hearts who are not indifferent to the fate of those most in need.

Promoting an active lifestyle, caring for the environment, and encouraging people to discover the areas of the Łódź Voivodeship, the "Krwinka" Foundation organizes a two-month initiative "Time for LoveR - we cover kilometers for children with cancer", in which all cycling enthusiasts can take part. How can you join the action?

– If you want to record kilometers, just download the free Tropiciel application, go to the "Time for LoveR" tab, create an account and enter the route traveled. We wholeheartedly encourage all lovers of riding on two wheels, including entire families, to participate in the initiative. A bicycle trip can be a great way to spend free time or a pleasant way to get to work - says Dominika Śliwińska, director of the "Krwinka" Foundation.

You can join the project at any time, but it is worth remembering that unique prizes await those who cover the most kilometers:

– We intend to appreciate the most committed cyclists in the individual and company rankings, who cover routes with brave cancer warriors in mind, who have limited opportunities for physical activity during their stay in hospital. We are incredibly happy with the exceptional involvement of the community, which, by taking care of its condition, supports our students - adds Dominika Śliwińska.

The beginning of the campaign in the form of a trip to Arturówek took place on August 1 in the hospital park at the University Center for Pediatrics. M. Konopnicka at the Medical Center of the Medical University of Łódź, where young patients are treated and are cared for by the "Krwinka" Foundation on a daily basis. The inauguration was attended by the Vice-Marshal of the Łódź Voivodeship, Piotr Adamczyk, and the Vice-President of the City of Łódź, Adam Pustelnik, who enthusiastically encouraged the inhabitants of Łódź and the entire Łódź Voivodeship to join the action.

The financial partners of the campaign are the following companies: Pixel Technology, Veolia, Amazon, the Fit&Joy gym from Podegrodzie and Bike Planet, which support young patients in long-term treatment and promote an active lifestyle among their employees, customers and business partners

– We are a company from Łódź that creates software for the medical industry, so we know how important the life and health of patients are. Our fellow programmers encounter this every day, so we couldn't help but take part in the "Time for LoveR" campaign. We have numerous employees who are passionate about sport and are ready to take part in the challenge. We want to take advantage of the excellent physical condition of our employees and share it with those most in need, emphasizes Karolina Franczak, representative of Pixel Technology.

Te project was held under the Honorary Patronage of the Voivode of Łódź, Karol Młynarczyk, the Honorary Patronage of the Marshal of the Łódź Voivodeship, Grzegorz Schreiber, and the Honorary Patronage of the Mayor of Łódź, Hanna Zdanowska.
