Run for the roses to breathe! Olga Vovk-Sobinа

Olga Vovk-Sobina is a founder of the program to support patients with cystic fibrosis in the Happy Child Foundation and co-founder of Ukraine without Torture NGO.«For over six years, I have been helping patients with cystic fibrosis and I do not imagine my life without those little patients. They are my challenge and the sense of my life. By a twist of fate, in spring a member of my family was also diagnosed with this disease. I will do whatever I can to achieve my goal, to give the cherished freedom to people with cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of their lives!My goal is to raise UAH 12 043 to purchase three chamber inhalers for patients with cystic fibrosis!»

Life of people with cystic fibrosis is a life under a strict schedule: taking medicines, inhalings, inspiratory and physical training. The medicines could be taken along. A convenient time and place for training could be arranged. But what could be done with an outlet for inhaler? It is impossible to strip a child of walk, classes and tours by "binding" them to an outlet under the schedule. Children with cystic fibrosis spend a considerable part of their life at hospital enough as it is, as well as undergoing daily tiring treatments. An OMRON portable inhaler could be a solution; it is functional, compact and noiseless. Due to this project of Happy Child foundation, 3 children with cystic fibrosis will have an opportunity to undergo the timely treatment in a train, forest, at school or at somebody's house to help maximally support their health and extend their life.
