Josep Carreras, in his own words

There is something in life, in my life, that was able to overcome this extraordinary passion I have for singing, and especially lyrical singing. Whenever the Foundation succeed in finding a compatible donor for patients awaiting a transplant, or every time we make progress in scientific research thanks to one of our scholarships, or when leukaemia patients are treated in transplant units or clinics that we have helped to finance, I feel enormously happy. Thanks to my profession, I am privileged to help or, at least, try to help people in need. In 1987, I became ill with leukaemia. During my illness I was lucky enough to have a family who supported me throughout, to have an extraordinary medical team, in addition to the spontaneous support and sympathy of the general public. This allowed me to maintain my morale and it gave me the necessary energy and determination to fight leukaemia. On July 14th 1988, with the support of my family, eminent scientists and business people, I had the opportunity to create the International Foundation for the Fight Against Leukaemia. Our Foundation focuses on four main areas: supporting scientific research, providing infrastructures for healthcare centres and hospitals, and searching for bone marrow and stem cell donors. All this in addition to offering social services for leukaemia patients and their families. The main mission of the Foundation is to support scientific research. The Josep Carreras Foundation for the Fight Against Leukaemia was born to help make Leukaemia a completely curable disease for everyone and in all cases. Our work will not stop until our goal becomes a reality.
Thank you Maria and Pippa for the English translation.

Like a Birthday...

Tutti voi sapete che Josep è uno splendido esemplare di Sagittario e che il suo compleanno si festeggia il 5 Dicembre, che comunque è molto vicino. Oggi però è un anniversario importante per lui: il 16 Novembre di 21 anni fa si era sottoposto all'autotrapianto di midollo osseo. Quel giorno, come ha affermato lui stesso, gli è stata donata la vita una seconda volta ed è per questo che in cuor suo questo giorno assume una valenza ancora più speciale del suo compleanno.



Los que recuerdan
que el día de hoy
tiene esa importancia tan especial
queremos celebrarlo
con nuestro querido tenor,
deseándole todo lo mejor...
... y no nos olvidamos de
dar gracias a Dios
por este "segundo nacimiento",
un regalo que
no hay palabras para describirlo.
