a highly promising young swimmer in 2001 he was diagnosed with leukemia while still in his teens. i was 19 i was focused on the next swimming competition on the next world championships. are always thrilling hearts always working hard and all of a sudden i was laying in a hospital bed and i was diagnosed with leukemia and felt like a nightmare it felt like it was not me. but it was. the stem cell transplant helped him to escape the nightmare. but after 6 months in a hospital bed he was back in his element the pope the 1st couple of years after my treatments i was the liaison i 1st played with my parents a lot and they were complaining to my doctor that i was not doing a thing. and then i started to enjoy your youth exercises and swimming

a bit again and to make a long story short. a couple of years later the 2008. olympic gold medal. it was almost like this so they'll moments when i was diagnosed leukemia but i was like no think he was a youth's nightmare and now it was a beautiful. piece khattala was also diagnosed with cancer 2015 doctors found a number of malignant tumors in her breast chemotherapy helped to get the better of the deceased but for her there was another vital factor the great outdoors.

and love it to be outdoors because the inspiration outdoors is music that's life life is not indoors life is outdoors and you're you're in immune system is stimulated by being outdoors you need the item in from the sun for your heart for your health. printed. she was still undergoing therapy when she founded outdoor against cancer an organization set up to encourage other cancer sufferers to help themselves through sport and exercise. from insurance training to white lifting or indeed toiling your way up a mountain. believe me ok. let's start. from tyler is convinced of the positive impact of exercise for cancer patients ok a little burning an x. all. in the ground. all those ladies developed cancer

a few years ago and they started to do sports and they never stopped doing sports they are healthy funnyman for strong and that's a really for me it's an amazing thing to morrow and if it's on not limited to stimulating circulation or strengthening the immune system this kind of sports therapy is also about boosting your sense of camaraderie and being able to talk about the disease a syndrome you lots of people way you don't need to worry about talking openly about the subject or spending time with them and go in there if we can it's empowering to see these people here after work to. bring even if i'm tired if they can do it so can i on the finish. in the concert hall because school does not kill cancer cells but it does increase the chances of beating it say spritzer tulloch.

martin fund if i didn't has a different perspective he has for not 3 years training to thank for his survival. or was the most lazy patients to few can imagine and it's things thing it is it's. my fellow patients they did that fitness course they where the fit once. was the treatment did not help for them. and i was the lazy patients and i was the one that had the luck to recover. but. i do not believe that the chance of. recovery increases by doing more sports during your treatments. and i think we have to be very careful with not blaming patients that they do not support enough if society tells us that we can

fight it's cancer and that we can battle cancer and with. those people who do not. become consumed we tell them that they are almost weak and that they have lost so that's that's why. and i think nots that's not faith fair. was for the scientific points of view over a decade ago germany's national center for which human diseases in hyderabad began examining the effects of physical exercise on cancer patients. in 2016 got the diagnosis and the 3rd all but most tense of patients the fall of the deep hole i was very tired. i couldn't do gardening i just didn't feel like i just read a book and i started eating chips these potato chips. sport

and exercise cannot directly combat achieve those several 100 studies show that cancer patients who exercise live longer. it can reduce certain side effects of cancer therapies and ensure that patients are in much fitter through the therapy and eye evil to cope better with their everyday lives so they asked the class the preliminary data suggests that physical exercise can lower the risk of relapse. research is currently being conducted to determine which kinds of exercise are most beneficial and then in medical many could be found a drug that is effective you wouldn't say just take as much as you want the dosage has to be right and. you know that. there is no special anticancer exercise as such depending on the tumour it's the quality and quantity that matter there might be an emphasis on insurance sport or strength training depending on the case

. the system. moves more and they do this great so. again. so while research has provided valuable insights things could improve on the practical side. right now sports and exercise there appear not parts of regular health insurance coverage in germany there are various reasons but the insurance companies should make a move and say that they'll pay for it and we wouldn't get all patients included it would help to start the ball rolling and hopefully qualify for prescription. and. consequence. and that is where outdoor against cancer hopes to have. it all denies events like the night hike held symbol taney asli in 6 locations.

after all the welcome to our 1st night hike. this hike by a lake outside munich is about both exercise and education it's also funded by the european union in order to increase awareness of sport and cats night hank is about going out in the even in living outdoors and enjoying the beauty of the nature and doing something for your health so they are in a social community they feel comfortable they don't have to be alone at home they do something for their health and against cancer they do something for their fuses and that psych can do something for a positive life so this is our message this is our vision this is my vision and i work out for the. martin fund and vitamin has his own vision when it comes to helping cancer patients.

the netherlands. more than 100000 people diagnosed cancer year and a big 40000 still cannot have the luck to recover and they die and it's a huge problem. in 2018 he had a crazy idea the netherlands used to have an 11 city tour a hugely popular speed skating event held on frozen canals it was suspended in 1907 as winters became too warm so damned if i decided to swim the tool in state when i decided to swim the 11 city 2 i was not aware how many kilometers to have of levon city to was and i went back home and i was googling and then i found out it was 200 kilometers while while i was olympic champion tell columbus so the that was quite a long thing. well maybe if everything works out maybe

it's possible. his 1st attempt failed after 160 kilometers and a lot of pain but in the summer of 29 c. he managed the full 200. almost 4 days in the water with only brief breaks for a snooze on the escort but. why did he do it. for my sister the hospital where my fellow patients did not make it so. it still doesn't feel fair why did i have to like to recover and why did my fellow patients like fairness that not have to luck and then almost some sort of guilds start it's almost sissified for the kids and with that survivor guilt i thought well i want to do everything i can to place funds for conservation to increase the

chance ofa luck for. future patients funny if i manage to raise some 12000000 euros in donations through his very own 11 city took treasures funds that he's passing on to cancer research projects. mark in fact they're fighting may not believe in the direct healing powers of sport but he has shown that sport can help to battle the disease.
