International network of organisations committed to make it happen
Only one week after my diagnosis of breast cancer in October 2017, I looked for an offer with the combination "sport and cancer" - and found Petra Thaller and thus OAC. A glimmer of hope! Only shortly after my first (and worst) chemo, I stood on shaky legs during the first snowfall and at 0°C in my first outdoor sports lesson from OAC. And could hardly believe that we should "warm up". I was sick, I thought. But I ran along with all the other participants. And today I can say: I ran for my life for after cancer. OAC was my lifeline. I am very grateful to Petra Thaller for her commitment and support during and after the therapies. Please continue!
