The President of the „MAD-Aid” Association, Victoria Dunford, invited on June 8, several generous people to participate in the charity event with the generic „Hora Binelui”, dedicated to the 10 years since the establishment of the Association she leads.

An emotional message was sent by Victoria to all those who have contributed to the „MAD-Aid” Association's activities so far. „Behind the 10 years is a lot of work and determination, dedication, joys and sometimes tears. I don't know if we did a lot or a little, but everything we did was from the heart, we tried to have a maximum impact in everything we set out to do. We invite you to continue to support us and together prove that we are capable of making a change, TODAY, HERE and NOW”, said Ms. Dunford during the event.
