Josep Carreras: Avui... Sant Josep!!!

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.

Avui... Sant Josep!!!

Brave, mi avete preceduta! Volevo fare il post, ma ero in crisi con la scelta della foto. Mancava solo quella! Ma alla fine ho scelto.

Questa che potrebbe sembrare l'apparizione di "Sant Josep", in realtà è un foto montaggio di un'immagine dell'Herodiade del 1984.

Che dire quindi? Non so se sia dappertutto così, ma noi italiani oggi festeggiamo anche tutti i papà, perciò...

MOLTISSIMES FELICITATS JOSEP

...pel nom que portes i pel pare meravellós que segur que ets!

E dopo questo ennesimo tentativo di dire due parole in una lingua che non so parlare... (si accettano correzioni!)... lascio spazio agli altri auguri!
