Thanks to your support, Alikhan was able to continue his swimming lessons. Thank you!

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!
