Summer has begun and for the Toy Heroes this means that a lot of fun activities for young and old are on the programme. So far, the program has, among other things, offered Hero Camps, Hero Races and a bicycle tour around Denmark.
The Legeheltenene cycling team “Legeheltene Riders” was sent off on a trip and has cycled around to 13 children’s wards in the Danish hospitals. Here they handed out teddy bears to the children in the wards and got new energy to cycle on. The team consisted of passionate people who want to support the work for the hospitalized and vulnerable children. The trip went from Aalborg to Copenhagen, where they finished at Rigshospitalet.
In addition, they have held five Hero Camps around the country, where 107 children and their parents participated. The purpose of Heltecamps is to give chronically and long-term ill children and their families a space free from the disease. Here they get lovely summer holiday memories, lots of nature, play and fellowship with others in similar situations.
We are happy to support the Play Heroes and see the joy they bring out in the hospitalized and vulnerable children in 33 children’s wards in Denmark and the Faroe Islands.
