A year as a wolves: free trips for those affected!

Wolfsburg, Deutschland - The ALS-Wölfe-Mobil celebrates its annual existence on July 1 and is a matter close to the heart for many affected people. This special vehicle is offered by the Krzysztof Nowak-Foundation , which was launched in 2002 to support people who suffer from amyotropher lateral sclerosis (as). The specially converted and equipped Volkswagen Caddy drives through the region for over a year and fulfills a very special purpose.

The ALS-Wölfe-Mobil is aimed not only at the sick themselves, but also to their relatives. The best thing about it? The vehicle can be loaned free of charge for excursions and vacations. More and more people have learned from this offer, although demand has increased steadily since the announcement. Especially in the warm months, the vehicle is hardly unused and the positive feedback from the users speak for themselves. Many report the advantages that the mobile offers - there is really something!

an integral part of the community

The offer of the ALS-Wölfe-Mobil is viewed as a great asset for those affected and their families. It not only helps to increase the quality of life, but also creates unforgettable experiences. The Krzysztof Nowak Foundation, named after the former VfL Wolfsburg player Krzysztof Nowak, who died in 2005, has established itself with a clear motto: "Quick help, without much bureaucracy". The foundation has been pursuing this goal since its foundation and offers financial grants in various areas of life to facilitate the life of the patients and their environment.

A three -member advisory board advises on the activities and the use of the foundation agents. Wolfgang Hotze and Roy Präger from VfL Wolfsburg and Reiner Müller from Deutsche Bank AG are committed to ensuring that the funds arrive where they are most urgently needed. After all, as a treacherous disease that attacks the body extensively, while the intellectual functions usually remain untouched.

attention from the Ice Bucket Challenge

In order to draw attention to the illness, there have also been large -scale actions such as the Ice Bucket Challenge in the past. In summer 2014, this moved thousands of people worldwide, also in Germany, and created a wave of solidarity. The challenge, which originally comes from the USA, led to a considerable amount of donations for ALS research and local ALS aid organizations, including the Krzysztof Nowak Foundation. Celebrities like Manuel Neuer and Sigmar Gabriel supported the actions and contributed to raising awareness of the disease.

Even if the Ice Bucket Challenge ensured a short-term hype, the fight against AR and the support of those affected remains a long-term task that is supported by initiatives such as the ALS-Wolfe-Mobil and the work of the Krzysztof Nowak Foundation.
