David Popovich will give a gold medal to a child who beat cancer

According to CS Dinamo, Popovici will give the gold medal won on Saturday to a child who beat cancer.

“Children diagnosed with cancer need our support. The talents they have, their ambitions for the future, but especially the restraint they have to show in the fight against this disease, make them extraordinary people.

So that there are as many as possible who help these children, I invite you all to donate some of your time to join the #SperantaNuMoareDeCancer program so that it reaches those who really need it.

Believe me, every one of you is important, every part matters, every child matters, and a normal gesture on your part can mean a great chance of survival for these children” – Davyd Popovych.

David will compete in the 200m freestyle at the Sette Colli Trophy on Sunday.
