The Atresmedia Foundation has developed the project "Potion of heroes" with the goal to help children and their families to increase the knowledge that children with cancer, and their families, have of the disease, as well as to help them overcome the fear and uncertainty caused by cancer treatment.

This is an initiative in which the children receive the visit of one of the six superheroes: Invisible Boy, Fire Girl, Kinetic Handsome, Miss Wall, Elastic Boy and Pretty Ray. At the beginning of the treatment, the children receive a briefcase with various elements of the hero that will accompany them during their battle against cancer: a comic book that tells the story of the character, a poster to hang in their hospital room, a hero badge to put on their pajamas or T-shirt, a passport that will be stamped at each chemotherapy session, a bag of candy and stickers to attach to the IV bag with the treatment.

The Clínica Universidad de Navarra welcomes this initiative which was presented at the end of September at the Pamplona Hospital Complex. Professor Belén Ochoa, who is also manager of the Hospital Pedagogy Unit of the University Clinic, was present at the event. The professor thanked the launching of the initiative, and added: "we consider these briefcases as a material of great financial aid and usefulness in our work with children with cancer and their families".

Also present at the event were: Antonio Merino, director General Manager of the Navarra Hospital Complex; Ana Mayoral, of the Atresmedia Foundation; María Sagaseta de Ilúrdoz, of Oncohematology at the CHN; and Mercedes Almiñana, president of association of financial aid for children with cancer in Navarra (ADANO).
