Support for Leukämie Ostbayern e.V. for Construction of Sports Centre for Children with Cancer

In July 2021, the Josef Mühlbauer Foundation received a request from Leukämiehilfe Ostbayern e. V. for support in building a sports centre for children with cancer on the grounds of Regensburg University Hospital. The association wants to use the sports centre to encourage physical activity among cancer patients, helping them to cope better with the gruelling treatment and return to everyday life more easily. Clinical studies have shown that exercise can reduce the side effects of medication and improve quality of life. Physical activity even has a positive effect on the relapse rate. The Josef Mühlbauer Foundation wanted to support the project and paid Leukämiehilfe Ostbayern e.V. EUR 20,000.00 for the construction of a sports centre for children with cancer.
