"Future WE" is a project in which children struggling with oncology, with the help of adults, tried themselves in their favorite professions for one day. Little patients of the Center for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology of the CSTO (Yekaterinburg) turned into teachers, hairdressers, police officers and firefighters. They tried on overalls, asked questions of interest and got the first skills in the specialty. At these moments, the illness receded into the background, and the thoughts of the children were captured by new impressions and acquired knowledge. The project was implemented by the Children of Russia charitable foundation (President - CEO of UMMC Andrey Kozitsyn).
10 stories of children participating in the project were presented on April 9 at the Yeltsin Center. The opening of the photo exhibition and the premiere of the film took place there. Among the guests of honor were oncologists and philanthropists, representatives of the business community, leaders of the Sverdlovsk Region, Yekaterinburg, the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company.
The "Future WE" social project is aimed at supporting and drawing public attention to problems of children suffering from oncological diseases. - Noted Vladimir Beloglazov, Vice President of the Children of Russia Charitable Foundation. - This year the foundation turns 20.
During this time, the fund supports children from all over Russia. We hope that Future Us, this new, kind and sincere project, will open a new page in helping children. ”
During the presentation, the organizers of the project said that the fund is raising funds for a CytoFLEX S flow cytometer worth 13,152,000 rubles for the Center for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology. It is one of the most advanced devices for detecting residual tumor cells. The CytoFLEX S flow cytometer is equipped with four lasers, differentiates and separates tumor cells, and simultaneously evaluates 12-13 parameters - protein molecules - on one cell.
