Fifteen young people from the “Fortaleza de los Guerrer@s” Foundation were on board the Papagayo- who day by day fight against cancer- they were invited to live their first flight experience. Among the young people we had the pleasure of meeting Alexander, warrior with osteosarcoma and lung metastasis, whose dream was to fly in an airplane for the first time and yearns to become an oncologist to help his fellow cancer fighters.
