On November 9th, Bonrepòs i Mirambell will become the setting for a charitable event titled “A Jump for Life for Childhood Cancer.” The activity will take place at the Parque de los Paelleros, beginning at 10:00 AM, aiming to raise funds for research into childhood cancer, which is the leading cause of disease-related death among children up to 14 years old in Spain. Numerous families and sports enthusiasts are expected to participate.
Adela Cañete, scientific director of the Spanish Childhood Tumor Registry (RETI-SEHOP) and an expert at Hospital La Fe, highlighted that the survival rate for children diagnosed with cancer has significantly increased, rising from 55% in the 1980s to 84% today. This advancement is the result of ongoing developments in medical research, which have managed to reduce the risk of treatment failures by 60% in recent years.
The event will feature a day full of activities, including a Kangoo Jumps masterclass, boxing exhibitions, inflatable castles, and a charity market. One of the main attractions will be a giant paella, prepared by Original Paella, with a cost of only 2 euros per serving. This initiative is supported by various organizations, including the University of Valencia and the Bonrepòs i Mirambell Town Hall.
Each year, around 1,100 cases of childhood cancer are diagnosed in Spain, highlighting the importance of supplementing public funding through microdonations. During the event’s presentation, the organizers emphasized the need for citizen contributions to sustain clinical and epidemiological research in pediatric oncology.
The first edition of this event, held in 2024, raised over 3,100 euros for research at Hospital La Fe. For those unable to attend, there will be an option to make microdonations under the motto “Every Jump Fuels Research,” ensuring that the fight against childhood cancer continues to advance.
