Oncological treatment for children – although it is a difficult experience – does not have to be associated only with sadness. It is also joy when you manage to overcome the disease – argue the initiators of the idea for a special song titled “Red Glasses”, which is dedicated to the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity.

The song was created in Białystok. Its title refers to the glasses worn by the founder of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Jerzy Owsiak. On January 26, during the 33rd final, the Orchestra will raise money for pediatric oncology and hematology.

The song is an initiative of the Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Clinic of the University Children's Clinical Hospital (UDSK) in Białystok and its friends as well as musicians and employees of the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic (OiFP) in Białystok. On Monday, recordings of this song were made at the Opera House.

The text of “Red Glasses” was written by the oboist of the OiFP orchestra, Agnieszka Janowicz, who is also the mother of Marysia, who suffered from acute lymphoblastic leukemia a few years ago. The music was composed by Max Fedorov from Opera. The soloists are Katarzyna Garłukiewicz and Jarosław Wioskow, they also sing, among others: Choristers help children who have recovered.

“In our clinic, we have been proving for years that we can, apart from matters that result from our daily duties, invest our time and energy in something that will focus the whole world's eyes even more on the problem of pediatric hematology and oncology. At the same time, we ridicule this cancer a bit, We are toning it down a bit so that this problem is not associated with pure misfortune,” Dr. Małgorzata Sawicka-Żukowska, head of the hematology clinic at UDSK, told journalists on Monday.

Doctors will also support WOŚP

She emphasized that there is great progress in the treatment of oncological diseases in children, doctors can do more and more, and they manage to save the lives of about 85%. patients. “There are a lot of children who will have a chance to return to their society. That's why we want cancer to be associated not only with the hospital, only with the worst situations, but also with the warmer, better side related to people, whom the children will meet during treatment, with the care that we try to provide them at a good level, and with such family warmth, because our clinic is a home for many patients and their families for up to two years,” said Sawicka-Żukowska.

Diagnostics and treatment require medical equipment, which is why doctors appreciate the activities of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. All doctors from the Białystok clinic will be volunteers during the 33rd final. “Because there is no hospital without the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity and there is no doctor who does not recognize the role of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity in patient care, therapy and diagnostics,” explained Dr. Sawicka-Żukowska.

Marysia beat cancer

The song – as its author Mrs. Agnieszka said – is about children's experiences and their dreams. The main goal is to return home, and by singing, children want to unite with others in the fight for health. Her daughter Marysia fell ill five years ago. Today he is almost 15 years old. She is healthy, she overcame the disease, and there were various difficult experiences along the way. “I remember the time of this illness well thanks to the people who surrounded me, my mother who was with me, and the friends I met there,” the girl said. She told journalists that the biggest dream of a sick child is simply to return home.

“We managed to beat cancer, unfortunately many people lost this fight,” said her mother Agnieszka, who wrote the lyrics to the song. She emphasized that children's oncology wards are like a family, parents support each other, share experiences to help others, and a long stay in hospital is not only a trauma. “We give something of ourselves because we have received something from others. I believe that goodness must return beyond all divisions. (…) The most important thing is to help these kids,” she said about the song.

The recording of the song will be sent to the WOŚP headquarters.

The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity has been playing since 1993. For 32 years, the WOŚP Foundation has been supporting the Polish health care system through one-day public collections called Finals: it buys the most modern medical equipment for hospitals, runs eight nationwide medical programs, implements an educational program and promotes a healthy lifestyle and preventive activities.

During 32 Finals, WOŚP collected nearly PLN 2.3 billion, which was used to purchase 74.5 thousand various medical devices. During most of the Finals, the Orchestra played to improve the quality of medical care for children. But not only that. In the last two years, the Foundation also conducted collections for adults: in 2023 for the fight against sepsis, and in 2024 – for the treatment of lung diseases.

The main theme of the 33rd Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity is the safety and health of children, and is accompanied by the slogan: “We play for health!”. The collected funds will be allocated to the needs of pediatric hematology and oncology.

The 33rd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will take place on Sunday, January 26, but some of the traditional initiatives – such as the Warsaw Run “Count yourself with diabetes!” – will be organized on Saturday, January 25. All the most important events will be available on TVN24, TVN, TTV, on MAX, Player.pl, TVN24 GO and on the tvn24.pl portal.
