Steelsharks for ATMOS

For an entire season, the ASKÖ Steelsharks Traun sold raffle tickets for a good cause: they are helping persons affected by mucoviscidosis and related research with the proceeds. The still incurable genetic defect is the most common hereditary disease in Europe. The life expectancy is currently around 40 years. Thanks to the faithful fans of the tough-as-steel football team, ATMOS received a donation of a fabulous € 2,500, which was distributed 50/50 to Cystische Fibrose Hilfe OÖ and the CF Center at the Children’s Hospital in Vienna. This is another important step in bringing the illness into focus, giving families non-bureaucratic aid and advancing research – to make sure that mucoviscidosis will soon be history!

THANK YOU, Steelsharks Traun!
