- running against leukemia: 35 girls and boys from the sports class of the Realschule Gauting turned around on Friday to collect donations for the foundation in the “Running life saving” campaign. The amount will not be known until next week. "One student ran 25 laps, remarkable for a lap that was only slightly shortened to 350 meters," said Verena Spitzer from the AKB, delighted with the enormous commitment of the students. The run was postponed once due to bad weather.

Organizer Jennifer Eggert from the secondary school gave the starting signal at 8.10 a.m., after which the children received a stamp for each round - and beamed every time they let themselves be pressed on their arms and sometimes on their cheeks.

Gauting's Mayor Dr.

Brigitte Kössinger came to the final round and praised the commitment of the students.

She reported about a leukemia patient from her circle of friends who was cured by a stem cell transplant and can be there as a father for his children.

The students were impressed.

With the donations, the AKB can finance examinations of possible donors (also in typing campaigns), which in turn gives leukemia patients a higher chance of finding a suitable donor.

The deputy director Reinhard Schlamp, who, according to Spitzer, can imagine organizing such a run for the whole school and a public typing campaign, was also impressed. The date could even be in autumn. mm
