Aub. According to Spiegel Online, around 1,800 children in Germany are diagnosed with cancer every year, around a third of whom are affected by leukemia. The chances of recovery are comparatively high in Germany, but it is a time of great hardship and stress for the families.
The load securing expert G+H GmbH Rothschenk, based in Aub and manufacturer of dunnage bags and lashings, takes its social commitment very seriously and has once again taken up this serious issue of children suffering from cancer this year.
At the WDR “Door Opener Day 2018” (03.10.2018, we reported), in which Rothschenk also took part, employees collected money for this good cause. The visitors rewarded this effort with a donation of €217.60. Rothschenk also generously rounded this up to an amount of €1,000.
Heidrun Grauer, board member for the “Elterninitative leukämie- und tumorkranker Kinder Würzburg e.V.”, was delighted with the extraordinary willingness to donate when Torsten Urban, partner at G+H GmbH Rothschenk, handed over the donation check.
The social commitment will flow into projects at the Regenbogen, Schatzinsel and Leuchtturm wards at Würzburg University Children’s Hospital and make it easier for affected families to cope with the disease.
Ms. Grauer thanked the company and its employees for their commitment, which is by no means a matter of course.
