Support Advita with a gift
IWC recently decided to support Advita. Advita is an organization, which helps cancer
patients with support that is not being given by the state hospitals these patients are treated
at.
http://legko-legko.ru/shop/
The AdVita foundation is one of the
leading non-governmental
foundations helping children and
adults with cancer in Russia. It was
created in 2002, and since then
hundreds of people, not only from St.
Petersburg but also from other regions
Покупая сувениры или приходя в пространство
«Легко-Легко» на мастер-классы и кинопросмотры, вы
помогаете собрать средства на лечение больных раком.
of Russia, have received various kinds
of aid from this foundation. AdVita
buys medications and consumables
for hospital patients, pays for search
for bone marrow donors and graft
harvesting for bone marrow
transplantations, organizes blood
donation campaigns, and, if
necessary, pays for examinations and
treatment of some patients outside
Russia.
Recently AdVita organized a little
«ПОМОГАТЬ ЛЕГКО» — ПРОЕКТ ФОНДА ADVITA («РАДИ ЖИЗНИ»)
shop, to provide funding, where you
can buy lovely souvenirs and gifts of
www.legko-legko.ru
Большая Пушкарская ул., д. 10
different kinds, you may even be able
to purchase some nice Christmas gifts
there this year.
The design of all items was created by those kids whom AdVita is helping. The address of this
shop is Bolshaja Pushkarskaja, house Nr 10 (nearest metro station “Sportivnaja” and
“Petrogradskaja”). Maybe you can find some nice Christmas presents there!
