The remaining amount, equal to 50 thousand crowns, was sent to the account of the Krtek Children’s Oncology Foundation. “I’m very happy that it finally worked out. If it weren’t for two acquaintances, we wouldn’t have made it to the end, that’s where the biggest thanks go. But I appreciate everyone who bought at least one and supported us!” said the manager.
