Viladecans: Different cause, same solidarity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Coordinating Association “Viladecans against Cancer” has been collaborating with IDIBELL since 2016. Year after year, all the solidarity activities they have carried out have raised funds for various IDIBELL research projects against cancer, selected by members of the group.<\/p>\n

As a result of the 2020 health crisis, the Association has decided exceptionally to reconvert its objective and join the collection of funds for COVID-19 research at IDIBELL. To do this, volunteers from the group have made cloth masks, hand-painted, which they are selling throughout the country.<\/p>\n

#BellvitgeInvestiga: crowdfunding against COVID-19<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IDIBELL goes hand in hand with large hospitals that have been receiving affected patients from COVID-19. In this situation, doctors, researchers, and healthcare personnel work together to care for patients, identify new targets for treatment, ways to prevent infection and to develop faster diagnostic methods.<\/p>\n

To help stop the virus, #BellvitgeInvestiga was born, a crowdfunding initiative that receives financial aid through the online platform: coronavirus.idibell.cat<\/strong><\/a>. We will dedicate all the donations received to promote the more than 75 research projects that have arisen to face the virus.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until today, the #BellvitgeInvestiga campaign has received more than 150 donations (from \u20ac 5 to \u20ac 30,000). Any collaboration is necessary. Most come from l\u2019Hospitalet and Barcelona, however, we have received aid from other areas of Catalonia, Madrid, Zaragoza, Linares or even Cambridge.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the donors who have collaborated!:<\/p>\n
