Dear friends, thanks to your support, we raised the necessary funds to pay for a swimming pool membership. Alikhan was able to continue his difficult recovery after treatment and removal of an extremely aggressive tumor of the nervous system.

According to his mother, the pool sessions helped Alikhan strengthen his muscles, improve his coordination, and increase his endurance. Neurogymnastics had a positive effect on his memory and concentration. "Thanks to these sessions, Alikhan became more active, focused, and confident, and also improved his physical and cognitive skills," Alikhan's mother shares the results.

We are grateful to everyone who responded and supported Alikhan in his quest for a speedy recovery. We believe that with each swim, Alikhan is getting closer to his goal. Thank you!

About the campaign

The treatment of a tumor of the nervous system has left a mark on Alikhan's health. To recover, he needs classes in the pool

Alikhan's complex disease was discovered in the fall of 2023. The diagnosis is anaplastic ependymoma, an extremely aggressive and rare tumor of the nervous system. An operation was performed in Moscow to remove it, after which Alikhan underwent proton therapy in St. Petersburg.

The treatment was followed by a difficult recovery path. Alikhan's speech and muscle function are impaired, so it is important to continue rehabilitation.

It is also important for Alikhan to pay attention to physical exercises in order to overcome left—sided monoparesis, a partial loss of strength. As noted by the leading oncologist, Professor Olga Grigorievna Zheludkova: "Classes in the pool are the most effective way to recover from surgery and treatment. A break is undesirable, otherwise there will be no desired effect."

It is impossible to get a subscription to the pool under the compulsory medical insurance, Alikhan is not a citizen of the Russian Federation. And classes are required regularly. Let's support him on his way to recovery!
