Maja and Robert Lewandowski at the Wroclaw stadium?
It is very likely that during the friendly match between Poland and Ukraine in Wroclaw, Polish national team captain Robert Lewandowski will make the dream of 11-year-old Maja Mecan come true. Maja, who is suffering from leukaemia, launched the famous Łatwoganga charity campaign in aid of the Cancer Fighters Foundation together with Bedoes.
At Wroclaw’s Cape of Hope, the young patient would like to lead Robert Lewandowski onto the pitch during the national team’s match. The footballer promised her that online. Professor Krzysztof Kałwak, head of the clinic, confirmed this in an interview with us.
