Edith Grynszpancholc is 53 years old. She lives in Buenos Aires and is a Flag Bearer contestant, and she helps children with cancer and their families.Edith´s daughter died of cancer.
Flag Bearer is an annual award that recognizes those Argentines who stand out for their dedication to others.
Edith said “Kids have so much fun that when have to get some tratament , for example , they are encouraged and eager to return to their game”.
Edith created a foundation called Flexer, this foundation is in honor to Edith´s daughter Natalí.This foundation (Natalí Dafne Flexer) gives parents information about trataments and medicines are given to those who cannot afford it , as well as wheelchairs. As she lived all this with her daughter, she knows what parents think. Edith created a series of aids for parents and patients to be together and happy, in the four sites (Posadas Hospital, Hospital Casa Cuna, Tucuman and Bahia Blanca) more than 1000 kids with cancer a month can play, relax and express themselves.
During treatment of her daughter Natalie she used to encourage other patients who shared rooms, because for him when children play, parents feel happier and more peaceful and if they are relaxed, if they feel heard, if they get answers, they can accompany their children best. Also on the program Showmatch (Dancing for a dream), the dream of one of the participants who danced was to help the foundation Flexer, these paticipants weren´t winners but helped to the foundation. Many people say that she is a "fighter for kids" because she always thinks about and helps the kids that have cancer in honor to her daughter Natalí.
