The association of Superheroes against cancer visited sick children of the pediatric department of the hospital of Montauban. An hour of joy, laughter and good humor in this month of childhood cancer.
They had their eyes wide open and a smile that showed all their teeth. The four children present yesterday at the pediatric day service of the Montauban hospital were fortunate to have a morning like no other. To visit them, some rather special friends came through the doors of their rooms. Mickey and Minnie, Spiderman, Pikachu, or even Luigi and Captain Marvel have spent nearly an hour by their side to make them forget the worries of everyday life. This action is part of the golden month of September, the international month dedicated to childhood cancer. “The objective is to do as for Pink October and Movember,” explains Soraya Follet, the president of the association, herself the mother of a child affected by cancer. We want these actions to grow in order to offer children and their families a time to have fun and come out of isolation. ”
“Children also have power”
A credo to which Marion Chapin, the educator of the pediatric department of the hospital center, can only adhere. “We want to bring everyday life to these children when they are often the most vulnerable, to make them forget the hospital environment. They usually undergo treatment, care. There, they are the ones who are masters of animation, which superhero they want to see, for how long … It is very important to make them feel that they also have the power, ”he explains. she.
After arriving by motorbike in the streets of Montauban, the Superheroes then joined the Port-Canal for an afternoon full of surprises.
