About this show
When the Felix Burda Foundation was founded in 2001, the foundation set as its goal to drastically reduce the mortality rate of colon cancer in Germany. Almost 100% of colon cancer cases could be prevented or cured by early detection. No other form of cancer has such a large potential for prevention and healing with early detection. Another important concern of the foundation is to inform the general public of the hereditary risk involved with colon cancer in particular for young people. Even young people have to go for regular preventive checkups when they come from high-risk families.
On the occasion of the German EU Council Presidency during the first half of 2007 the Felix Burda Foundation and its partner organisations have hosted the one day conference "The Future of Health in Europe - European Conference on Colon Cancer Prevention“ in Brussels. More than 200 participants from 29 different countries attended the conference which was concluded by the signing of the "Brussels Declaration on Colon Cancer Screening in Europe". Please find more information on www.future-health-2007.com.
In addition to its campaign for early detection of colon cancer, the Felix Burda Foundation started the Project P90 in 2005. The goal of this project is to avoid obesity in children between the ages of 6-12. Twenty percent of first graders in Germany are already overweight – and their numbers are increasing. Together with partners, such as, for example, the Bertelsmann Foundation, large-scale activities and projects will be organized at schools and other venues where children come together. The goal of these projects and activities is to motivate children to be more physically active and to make it more attractive to eat healthy foods.
