The cooperation with The Danish Brain Injury Association started in 2005 in connection with Hotel d’Angleterre’s 250 years anniversary. At this event the patron of The Danish Brain Injury Association, the Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary, received DKK 2 millions from the Remmen Foundation.
The donation was part of a campaign to create attention for The Danish Brain Injury Association – focusing on their mission: LIV DER REDDES – SKAL OGSÅ LEVES. (Lives saved – are to be lived)
During 2008, DKK 1 million was donated , of which 500,000 was dedicated to HovedHuset situated in Frederiksberg.
In 2009 the Remmen Foundation handed over a total of DKK 8 millions to The Danish Brain Injury Association at a special event at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.
DKK 5 millions was earmarked for training of specialists in the treatment method trombektomi, which means that patients, who suffer a stroke, in the future have a much better chance of survival with this new treatment.
Today 2-3 Danes die every week or experience a severe brain damage after a stroke, because hospitals are unable to perform emergency treatment with so-called trombektomi. According to The Danish Brain Injury Association 100-200 Danes are annually affected.
The other DKK 3 millions was donated as a safety net for The Brain Injury Association’s rehabilitation project HovedHuset in Fredriksberg.
It is the vision of the Remmen Foundation to help ensuring patients, who suffer a stroke, an optimal treatment.
