By buying TikTak wafers, we support the heart prosthesis project for children
Crunchy TikTak wafers can be found on store shelves. The proceeds from their sale support the implementation of the heart prosthesis project for children by the Zbigniew Religa Foundation for Cardiac Surgery Development.
A TikTak wafer is the quintessence of a classic, delicious cocoa-flavoured wafer covered in delicate milk chocolate. Enclosed in colourful, cheerful packaging and evoking positive emotions, this wafer is worth having close at hand when you feel like something sweet; it will make any afternoon coffee more enjoyable and complement any second breakfast. The TikTak wafer not only tastes delicious, but also provides 100% of the joy of helping.
TikTak. I’m saying yes!
Every one of us can join the TikTak. I’m saying yes! programme; all you need to do while shopping is reach for products bearing the TikTak logo, including the delicious TikTak chocolate-covered wafer.
The TikTak wafer is part of the “TikTak. I’m saying yes!” programme, whose aim is to raise funds for research and development work on the first family of heart prostheses for children in Poland (and the second in the world!), as well as to increase awareness and change the social climate surrounding issues related to transplantation as a method of saving lives.
For over twenty years, the Zbigniew Religa Foundation for Cardiac Surgery Development in Zabrze has been carrying out its mission of supporting and developing Polish cardiac surgery and introducing modern techniques and technologies for heart treatment into clinical practice. The Foundation’s priority task is to create a family of heart prostheses for children suffering from acute failure of this organ. Their purpose is to support the function of the diseased organ while awaiting transplantation, with the possibility of avoiding a transplant if the relieved, diseased heart regenerates to such an extent that the complicated operation is no longer necessary.
Thanks to the enormous commitment of the Foundation and its friends, the Polish heart prosthesis intended for school-age children weighing 20–40 kg is already in its final, extremely advanced stage. The moment when our home-grown heart prosthesis will save the lives of sick children is drawing ever closer. In the near future, the Foundation’s scientists also intend to construct heart prostheses for children weighing 10–20 kg and 5–10 kg.
