David visits the children suffering from cancer at the Fundeni Clinical Institute and presents the first 20 ribbons to those who have survived the fight against the disease.
“I deeply admire these children; it was very hard to go into those rooms, and just as hard to leave. Because they are going through something… I mean, when we say we have problems, no, we don’t. I don’t have the right to complain that I have it hard… because they are the ones truly facing difficulty. I felt admiration and respect for them, and I’m happy that many have managed to overcome this ruthless disease,” he added.
Genetic tests cost around €3,000, but are provided free of charge to children through the
„Speranța nu moare de cancer” (“Hope Doesn’t Die of Cancer”) program. Popovici stated that the government should also be a major sponsor in these types of projects.
