Running together for MagicHOME
Continental Beasts Team Asociatia MAGIC
We’re a team of 10 running enthusiasts about to embark on a 272 km adventure along the South East Coast of England. We’re using this opportunity to raise funds for MagicHome, a program which gives families of children diagnosed with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses: (1) a place where they can sleep, (2) all the comfort of a normal home (bathrooms, washing machines etc.), (3) a big kitchen where they can cook just like they do at home, (4) play areas both indoors and outdoors, (5) non-clinical support through art and psychological aid.
Why Magic Home?
Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Kids suffering from these terrible conditions need to be treated in specialized clinics which are usually situated far away from their homes. Over 70% of the children come from families with modest financial possibilities. Because of the costly nature of transportation and lodging, many of these very sick kids: receive a late diagnosis of their disease, delay or cease treatment entirely, and/or delay or cease seeking medical advice and appointments during their observation period.
Runner Quote:
“In an ideal world, humans and especially kids would not suffer from cancer. But in the real world they do. In an ideal world, patients should have access to decent healthcare. But in the real world many don’t. In Romania, MagicHome addresses real world issues and fills in some of the gaps left by a weak welfare state. We are confident that the lovely team behind MagicHome will put the funds we raise to good use.” – Andra Migiu, Endurance Runner
