Verkehrsschule Zug donates CHF 1,000 to the”Kinderdemenz Schweiz” foundation
The association of independent driving instructors is committed to charitable causes every year and donates part of its income from driving lessons. This year, a donation of CHF 1,000 was collected and presented to the still young ‘Kinderdemenz Schweiz’ foundation, which was only founded in 2021.
Childhood dementia (NCL, neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) is a rare metabolic disease that has hardly been researched to date. This incurable disease progresses inexorably and usually leads to an early death. Children who develop NCL usually go blind, suffer from epilepsy and gradually lose their cognitive and motor skills until they usually die between the ages of 20 and 30.
Roman Küng, President of the ‘Kinderdemenz Schweiz’ foundation, presented the foundation and its aims to Sven Meier, President of the Zug traffic school, and his team of driving instructors. These include
– Support for affected families in Switzerland
– Promoting research into the disease
– Raising public awareness of the issue
“We didn’t realise that dementia can also affect children! It’s terrible to imagine not being recognised by your own child and having to bear this fate as a family. We are therefore convinced that our donation is going to the right place and can help affected children and their families,’ says Sven Meier on behalf of the entire team aVerkehrsschule Zug.
