Tour de France champion Carlos Sastre has been keeping busy with several charitable works during his off-season.
He will make a visit to the University Hospital of Gent on Monday, November 10. Sastre will spend time with children suffering from cancer on behalf of the Kinderkankerfonds Foundation, for which Sastre has worked for several years. He is travelling to Belgium, accompanied by his wife and parents, and will also attend a dinner in his honor organized by members of his Aalter fan club.
He spent this weekend working with the Kenyan Project Vidha, led by Doctor Santiago Moreno, chief of infectious diseases of the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid. He also lent his support to the ophthalmology project run by Dr. Purification Garcia at the Pediatric Oncology Hospital La Paz in Madrid.
Finally, the French Grand Tour winner donated cash and a jersey for a raffle at the awards ceremony of Sid's trophy Paddel-Can (Association for Research on Cancer and AIDS) held this week at the Reebok Sports Club La Finca in Somosaguas, Madrid.
