More than 200 children participated on October 11 in the Solidarity Gymkhana organized by the Pediatric Area of the Hospital de Sabadell and Rotary Club Sabadell, in order to support children suffering from serious illnesses and their families.
The initiative had the collaboration and participation of leisure groups and Sabadell City Council as well as volunteers from Parc Taulí and Rotary, companies and organizations in the city, athletes and celebrities.
It was a very special and emotional afternoon with the children hospitalized in Pediatrics who received visits from the players of the Sabadell Sports Center, the players of the water polo team of the Sabadell Swimming Club, the Macedònia music group, the actor Jordi Rios, from the performance group Legion 501 and the make-up artists from the Princeslàndia make-up workshop.
The aim of the gymkhana has been to disseminate the work carried out in the Pediatric Area of the Hospital de Sabadell, to publicize the work of professionals and, fundamentally, to receive the support of the population to promote this area and make it more comprehensive and efficient, with more capacity for assistance and relationships, both with the child and with the families. This care implies, at the same time, a humanization of pediatric spaces.
The Solidarity Gymkhana wants to become the starting point to carry out this project that is for everyone and for everyone. We remind you that this activity is part of a project of visibility and participation of the pediatric field with civil society, coinciding with the celebration, on October 8, of the Day of Pediatrics, an initiative of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (www.aeped.es)
From this space we want to thank all the entities, companies and individuals who have contributed, with their selfless contributions, to the success of this Solidarity Gymkhana!
