Blood helps people with diseases and injuries lead a healthy, happy life once again. That's why it is so important to always have blood available for everyone. In the Netherlands, this is taken care of by Sanquin and its blood donors. From 8 to 14 June, listeners to Sky Radio can leave a message of thanks for blood donors on www.skyradio.nl. This is because 14 June is World Blood Donor Day - a day on which we can really put donors (who have often been selflessly giving blood for years) in the limelight. 202 free tickets to the CORPUS ‘journey through the human body' will be awarded at random to those who leave a message. So you can thank Sanquin donors and win tickets to CORPUS at the same time!

DJ DIVA LA ONA is the new face of Vifit, the perfect brand for everyone who leads a busy, active life. From early beginnings on her parents' old record player, the name of DJ DIVA LA ONA now graces the posters of the best-known dance events. She plays at festivals and opening shows, at the biggest beach parties and the hippest clubs in the Netherlands. For someone with such an energetic life, a good immune system is enormously important. Healthy eating, plenty of exercise and enough sleep are essential. And a portion of Vifit every day can also help, as it contains the beneficial lactic acid bacteria LGG®. Scientific studies have proven that this bacteria can support the barrier function of the gut, which is where the body's resistance is largely determined. Further information about DJ DIVA LA ONA and the importance of a healthy immune system can be found on www.vifit.nl

During the collection weeks for its Founding Fathers, CORPUS donates a certain amount from the price of every entrance ticket to the good cause in question. From 8 to 13 June 2009, a collection week will be held for the Dutch Digestive Diseases Foundation, which once again has the theme of cancer of the oesophagus this year. More and more people are suffering from cancer of the oesophagus and as the disease is often only discovered at a late stage, there is a high mortality rate. It is therefore vitally important to pay attention to this subject and to be aware of the alarm signals! The Dutch Digestive Diseases Foundation has a special website about cancer of the oesophagus: www.slokdarmkanker.info. Read more about the Dutch Digestive Diseases Foundation on the website www.mlds.nl.
