Isdefe is supporting this project of the Sandra Ibarra Foundation, a non-profit organisation devoted to financing research projects and to promoting cancer awareness campaigns. The project kicks off on 15 November with the presentation of the book Diario de vida, written by journalist Juan Ramón Lucas.
As part of its efforts to promote its corporate social responsibility and engage with the public sector, Isdefe is joining this charity project, partnering with other state-owned agencies like ADIF, Aena, Correos, ICO, INECO, Metro, Renge and the Tragsa Group.
The book contains accounts from 27 cancer survivors. Diario de vida was written to pay tribute to them and to the hundred thousand new survivors in Spain every year.
The Foundation has also created the first Survivors’ School, whose goal is to promote institutional health care plans for “long-term survivors”. One of its main projects is the creation of a Registry of Cancer Survivors in Spain, which will be used to identify those people who have overcome this disease and to understand their physical, emotional and social needs. This information will help health care professionals to become more aware of the impact that cancer has on the lives of people so that more efficient and personalised programmes can be developed to meet the needs of survivors.
The first stop along this journey will take place today at the Hotel Puerta de América in Madrid, after which Intropia will hold a charity jumble sale for the Foundation. In coming weeks, it will tour Spain’s main cities: Alicante, Sevilla, Valladolid, Oviedo and Barcelona.
