Madrid 10.05.11 – ADF PR International provided the dream of a special child, the chance to visit the Real Madrid stadium “Santiago Bernabeu”, watch a league game with some of the football stars and be greeted by some Portuguese Players like Cristiano Ronaldo.

This amazing story began when the President and Chairman of AdF PR International Rui ALVIM de FARIA was asked by a close friend, Miss Rita Batista a voluntary at the “the land of dreams association” (Terra dos Sonhos), a children charity organization whose main goal is to fulfil dreams of children and teens who are diagnosed with chronic diseases, to help in the possibility of making a dream come true to a special child named Joanel. This young child named Joanel is a 15 year old boy who was diagnosed with a “Rabdomiossarcoma tumor”. He had a dream that one day he would go to Real Madrid F.C. *link http://www.realmadrid.com * for a visit to the stadium and meet the players.
