to favour of the Christiane Herzog donation

Over 14.000 euro gave the Deutsche Volkssportverband after the 6th Edition of the action "Germany is walking" since 1996 to Christiane Herzog donation and its Mukoviszidose sicks.
Several associations and moving communities accomplished 2001 fifteen people sport meetings - mostly moving days - on 3 October. Further associations donated smaller and larger amounts. 

Annually on 3 October moving does not only promote the own health. The Volkssportler and the participating associations support to a considerable degree emergency suffering children. A good feeling if one knows that the own leisure activity is part of an important humanen support. The day of the German unit forms for this the ideal frameworks. 

Mukoviszidose is the most frequent hereditary metabolic illness in our regions. In Germany suffer approx.. 6.000 to 8,000 children and young adults at the illness. And still the young Mukoviszidose patients lose their daily fight for the strength for breathing much too early. Nevertheless one can count today however on the fact that the gotten sick ones become than 30 years old on the average more. A large success if one considers that Mukoviszidose applied before 15 years still as pure teething trouble.

Statistically seen about each 25. Citizen in Germany carries the ill gene in itself, which causes the illness. But if both parents are only hereditary carriers and pass on the gene effect, the child will suffer at Mukoviszidose . As consequence of this error in the "structural drawing" of the cells all body-own secretions are thickened produced. A tough slime sticks so above all the lung and the pancreas together. Gradually the organs lose their operability. At the end literally the strength is missing to the children and young adults for breathing. The symptoms are confounded frequently with chronic bronchitis or Krupphusten. 

The aid to the Christiane Herzog donation is used locally for various purposes: Promotion of the research, mechanism of physician places, improvement of the gymnastic supply by out and further training of the trainer as well as execution of climatic therapy cures. These tasks are accomplished by the donation with as small an administration expense as possible, so that almost any donation euro benefits directly the concerning.
