That was a surprise: an already generous donation was topped many times over!

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming the Managing Director of Hans Jürgen Meseth GmbH, Mr Moriz Pilsel, and his colleague Simon Gatzke.

In conversation with the Managing Director of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer, Mr Marcus Klüssendorf, and later during a guided tour with researcher Dr Jens-Uwe Vogel, the guests were able to gain a comprehensive picture of the foundation’s research, which is gaining insights into more effective therapies for children and young people with cancer. There were also insights into how the latest medical technology is helping us in research towards personalised, tailor-made therapy.

Mr Pilsel was so impressed by the work that he topped up his original donation of 2,500 euros to 12,500 euros during the visit! We as a foundation are very grateful to Mr Pilsel and the employees of Meseth GmbH for their generous support of cancer research in children and young people. After all, no child should have to die of cancer or suffer the late effects of treatment.
