Skiing = Therapy

Skiing is being used as a therapy for young cancer patients in Spain. Fifty patients aged between 9-13 left for a few days holiday at the Formigal ski resort in Huesca province, Spain, as part of a charity funded project.



The brave youngsters from Oncology Units across the country left Zaragoza by coach to have skiing lessons with national ski school instructors.

During their short break the children also got to meet the huskie sleigh dogs and see the whole resort on the back of snowmobiles.

After a second morning out on the slopes with the instructors, and overall a great break, the children left the resort.
