A baby with an oncological disease is fulfilled in a charity tournament tournament

Sensitive moment during the tournament – a dream of a boy with cancer

The boy was just a year and a half, but he had the hardest challenges at just 8 months. Leonard was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and was soon initiated with chemotherapy and was later undergoing tumor removal surgery. The entire structure could not be removed because the bleeding was threatened – the tumor was very important in the blood vessels… After the surgery, after the recovery, the research showed that the tumor has blood circulation and is still active and therefore prescribed medicines. Due to the side effects caused by the medication, the treatment of Leonard has been paused for some time. Based on the results of the most recent studies, the medical staff decided to finish the boy’s treatment and leave to monitor.

To color this difficult period in brighter colors, the boy’s dream was to have a game house at home. This beautiful childish dream is fulfilled by all the people who participated in the Pool Tournament last year for the victory of the victims.
