The Pàdel Estany charity tournament united sport and solidarity on 15 and 16 June at the club's facilities in Porqueres, raising funds for the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases research group at the Dr. Josep Trueta Biomedical Research Institute of Girona (IDIBGI).
The event attracted more than 50 registered participants who, through their participation, collaborated with the IDIBGI's research on Respiratory Cardiovascular Diseases led by Dr. Olga Tura. The winners of the tournament were awarded a prize of a set of IDIBG gift vouchers.
The collection helps to improve the understanding, treatment and diagnosis of cardiac and respiratory diseases. These diseases greatly affect the quality of life of the patients who suffer from them. At the tournament, tickets were also handed out to participate in a charity raffle with a shirt and a Girona FC
shirt signed by the players.
The IDIBGI would like to thank the organisation of the Pàdel Estany club for supporting this cause by organising the charity tournament and the translational research group in Cardiovascular and Respiratory Diseases for making this opportunity to enjoy sport and collaborate with biomedical research
possible.
