Supporting the World Continence Week
The World Continence Week (WCW), this year from June 17th – 23rd, is a health campaign run by the International Continence Society (ICS) every year to raise awareness of continence related issues.
This year we want to tell the story of Sonja Häsler, who since 2005 is bound to a wheelchair after an accident involving traumatic brain trauma and spinal strain. Through her testimony she wants to encourage people to continue having an active life despite their handicap.
