a a with a a a,

a 20 years ago martin van divided was 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 bill. championships are always trading hogs always working hard and all of a sudden i was laying in a hospital bed and i was diagnosed. leukemia. felt like a nightmare. it felt like it was not me, but it was a stem cell transplant, helped him to escape the nightmare. doctor 6 months in a hospital bed. he was back in his element the 1st couple of years after my

treatments. i was to lation, i 1st played with my parents to lots and they were complaining to my doctor that that was not doing a thing. and then i started to enjoy exercises and swimming a bit again and, and to make a long story short, a couple of years later, 2008. i want olympic gold medal with almost like diesel moments when i was diagnosed. leukemia with when i was diagnosed, leukemia was a huge nightmare. and now it was beautiful. pizza tunnel was also diagnosed with cancer. in 2015 doctors found

a number of malignant tumors in rest chemotherapy, hoped to get the better of the disease. but for her, there was another vital factor, the great outdoors i love it to be outdoors because the inspiration outdoors is amazing that site life is not indoors, life is outdoors. and your, your in immune system is stimulated by being outdoors. you need the light coming from the sun for your heart for your health laugh christine. she was still undergoing therapy when she found it outdoor against cancer and organizations set up to encourage other cancer sufferers to help themselves through sport and exercise from endurance training to white lifting or indeed toiling your way up a mountain. ah,

okay. let's start. pete's katara is convinced of the positive impact of exercise for cancer patients. a little burning and exxon with all those ladies developed cancer a few years ago. and they started to the sports and they never stopped doing sports . they are healthy, funny mouth, so strong that so early for me it's an amazing thing. my benefits are 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 isn't only larger, they people will, you don't need to worry about talking openly about the subject or spending time with them. and i wish we could, it's empowering to see these people here after work to the office. but even if i'm tired and if they can do it or so can i finance up on them?

vinnish ben shook on mechanically thing what kinds of does not kill cancer cells, but it does increase the chances of beating it. say's petra tullet with moton fun. if i didn't, has a different perspective. he has fortune not fitness training to thank for his survival. i was the most lazy patients that you can imagine. and his thanks thing is that's my fellow patients. they did that fitness course. they where the fits once, but the treatment did not help for them. and i was delay she patients and i was the one that had the luck to think of them.

i do not believe that that chance off i think of lee in cases by doing more sports, doing your treatments and i think we have to be very careful with not blaming patients that they do not support enough. if josiah t tells us that we can fight ken's and then we can battle cancer. and when you fell, those people who do not pick up from cancer, we'd tell them that they almost week and at a loss, that's the battle and nothing got months. that's not a fair us from the scientific point of view. over a decade ago, germany's national center for tumor diseases in heidelberg, begun examining the effect of physical exercise on cancer patients. in 2016,

i got the diagnosis and that felt awful. like most kinds of patients there for a deep hole. i was very tired. i couldn't do gardening, i just didn't feel i get, i just read a book and i started it in chips with potato chips. or i was getting fatter, thought of because a stomach loss of her sport and exercise cannot directly combat a tumor. although several 100 studies show that cancer patients who exercise live longer kinds of fuel efficient, it can reduce certain side effects of cancer therapies and ensure that patients emerge further through the therapy theory and are able to cope better with their everyday life to skip. so i asked last preliminary data suggests that physical exercise can lower the risk of relapse in his ankle in research is currently being conducted to determine which kinds of exercise are most beneficial. and when and medical medical meet pounded drug that is affect if you wouldn't say to take as much as you want,

the dosage has to be right. i'm. but i'm very asthma clifton out of young. there is no special empty cancer exercise as such, depending on the tumor, it's the quality and quantity that matter. there might be an emphasis on endurance sport or strength training, depending on the case. hope is my a wooton, or moose. i've got a lot more energy is great, absolutely. super good. oh again and again. oh, stop. so while research has provided valuable insights, things could improve on the practical side. as actor eliza, so that right now, sports and exercise therapy and not parts of regular health insurance coverage in germany. there are various reasons i think, but the insurance company should make a move and say that they'll pay for it with my b wouldn't get all patients included. but it helped to start the ball rolling and hopefully qualify for prescription nomic off the map and beacon and stanford,

i'm fake is done controlscan. and that is where outdoor against cancer hopes to help it organizes events like the night hike, hold simultaneously in 6 locations. ah, 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 cancel. my time is about going out in the evening, 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 the health and against cancer. they're doing something for their fuses and depths like they do something for

a positive life. so this is our message. this is our vision. this is my vision and i will come for that with martin for nevada's has his own vision when it comes to helping cancer patients, lou ah, in the netherlands there are more than 100000 people diagnosed cancer for you. and the big, 14 thousands do not have to luck to recover and they die. and it sits a huge problem. ah, in 2018, he had a crazy idea. the netherlands used to have an 11 city tour, a hugely popular speedskating event held on frozen canals. it was suspended in 1997 as winter's became too warm, so can divide and decided to swim the tor instead. when i decided to swim v 11 city to, i was not aware how many kilometers do you have an 11 city to was and i went back

home and i was googling and. and then i, i found out it was 200 kilometers. while while, while i wasn't exemption 10 kilometers, so that was quite a long thing. the fall. well maybe if everything works out, maybe is possible. his 1st attempt failed off to 160 kilometers and a lot of pain. but in the summer of 2019, he managed the full $200.00 almost 4 days in the water with only brief breaks for a snooze on the escort boat. but why did he do it? ah, for my history in the hospital where my fellow patience did not make it, but it still doesn't feel fan. why did i have to luck to the golfer and i did my fellow patience. my friends did not have to luck and then almost some sort of

guilds started almost with the 5 kids. and with that survivor guild, i thought, well, i want to do everything i can to raise funds for can to the foods to increase the chance of luck for her future patients. honey, if i hadn't managed to raise some 12000000 euros incarnations through his very own 11 city talk, precious funds that he's passing on to cancer research projects with mocking fund if i may not believe in the direct healing powers of sport. but he has shown that sport can help to battle the disease. ah,

with ah, a resolution on the street. really thinking urban environmental european cities fearing to leave the way you are cars, more security, greener spaces, and happier, healthier people. read next on d, w. ah niger is disaffected youth violence, gang warfare,

hopelessness here and cinder. it's an all too familiar vicious cycle abandoned by their own state. a young generation desperately tries to help itself in 30 minutes on d. w. ah, rearing to read. ah, everyone who loves books has to go insane. ah, the dw literature list, 100 german must reads and we're all used to the streets of our cities being hectic. smelly and noisy always has been always will be. right. it's up to us to find our way through the traffic, but other options do we have more than half of us now live in cities that are
