Winterhilfe Canton of Berne
Poverty in Switzerland is often invisible and means that the minimum local standard of living cannot be achieved through one's own efforts. Since 1932, Winterhilfe Kanton Bern has been helping those affected by poverty with services that provide relief and open up new prospects. Winterhilfe provides beds, clothes, shopping vouchers and school kits and pays urgent bills, e.g. for medical expenses. Winterhilfe promotes participation in social life by enabling families to go out together and financing leisure activities for children. Winterhilfe relies on the solidarity of the Swiss population, as it finances 100 % of its work with donations.
Purple running team
The Lila running team consists of runners of different levels who have come together to raise awareness of the growing problem of pancreatic cancer and to raise money for pancreatic cancer research. Walking activities will also be offered. Non-runners who cheer and help at the information stand are also very important. Anyone can take part!
Pancreatic cancer is an extremely deadly type of cancer, only about 8% of patients are still alive 5 years after diagnosis, most are dead within a few months of diagnosis. It is often missed, partly because people don't think about it. Compared to other types of cancer, research is decades behind. This is another reason why the number of victims continues to rise!
Our goals are:
- Spreading knowledge about the disease and its symptoms so that people think about it earlier and fewer diagnoses are missed
- Raising awareness of the problem in politics
- Collecting donations for research into treatment and early detection
