Goal: 1,600 kilometers
A charity run for children with life-limiting illnesses
According to a recent study, there are around 10,000 children and adolescents in Switzerland who require pediatric palliative care. This figure is significantly higher than previously thought.
We support families with children with life-limiting illnesses. That's why we walked 1,600 kilometers for for the first children's hospice in the Greater Zurich area.
We have currently collected over CHF 55,000 for the Flamingo Children's Hospice in Fällanden.
Approximately CHF 35,000 was collected via direct donations and Twint. A further CHF 20,000 was raised in collaboration with the Aathal-Seegräben trade association or via crowdfunding thanks to the kind support of Raiffeisenbank Zürcher Oberland! This is far more than expected. Thank you very much.
All donations go directly to
the Flamingo Children's Hospice in Fällanden.
The first children's hospice in the greater Zurich area
The children's hospice planned in Fällanden, Zurich Flamingo Children's Hospice will be open to children and young people up to the age of 18 with life-limiting illnesses as well as their parents and siblings.
The holistic care and support combined with the appropriate infrastructure should enable those affected to take a break from their exhausting everyday lives.
The realization of the Flamingo Children's Hospice is made possible by the Swiss Children's Hospice Foundation. Construction of the new children's hospice in Fällanden, Zurich has already begun.
