One month ago we were moved by Daniel Hanenbergs fate. The 18 year old from Weeze is – like many boys at his age – stubborn, rigid but also a lovely, funny guy and truly honest. He is sharing an illness with only 25 to 30 people around the world: the extremely rare Marden Walker syndrome.
When Daniel was one and a half year old the disease broke out and changed his everyday life completely.
Apart from that Daniel is enjoying life: Like most other kids he is attending school and loves swimming. When his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer the family kept going . Melanie Hanenberg still has to take medicine. The biggest joy for both of them is their yearly trip to the Northern Sea where they spend a few days at the seaside.
Melanie contacted the Toni Kroos foundation on the beginning of September and told us her wish to have a buggy “Hippocampe”.
