Icelandair invites sick children to amusement park

Icleandair invited almost one hundred children with cancer illnesses to the biggest Nordic amusement park with their families. Icelandair´s Boeing 757 airplane and crew, which volunteered their work that day, waited at the airport while the children and their families enjoyed themselves at the park.

"It is precious for the children and their family to find that they are not fighting this alone. Many of these children just finished a cancer treatment or are still in a tough treatment. This kind of a trip gives them a change to think about something else than the illness for one day." said Óskar Örn Guðbrandsson, manager of the Organisation for cancer sick children (SKB).
