STEP BY STEP TO ULTRASOUND AT PETRINJA RADIOLOGY!

Croatia is one of the countries with the highest annual incidence of thyroid cancer in the world – as high as 10 per 100,000 inhabitants per year, and a similar ratio is recorded in the Banovina region.

With the noble goal of raising funds for the purchase of a color Doppler ultrasound machine for the residents of Petrinja and the surrounding area, the Croatian Association for Thyroid Diseases recently held a commendable charity event called “Step by Step”.

Nine members of the Association, led by President Verica Mešić, who has survived thyroid cancer, walked 57 kilometers from Zagreb to Petrinja. They set off on Sunday morning at 4:30 AM from the National and University Library, and after leaving Zagreb and walking through Velika Gorica and Lekenik, they finished 14 hours later at the Center of New Life in Petrinja, where they were greeted by grateful Petrinja residents and Mayor Magdalena Komes, who presented them with the city flag.

The fearless Verica walked the same 57 kilometers last year and says she will not stop until the city of Petrinja receives this valuable medical device. One of the walkers was Petrinja ultramarathoner Branko Šubić, who first drove to Zagreb in the middle of the night and then walked back with the Association members – towards his Petrinja. Given that this event took place the night after the Eurovision final, where our Baby Lasagna narrowly missed winning, it’s no surprise that the welcoming included singing and dancing to “Rim tim tagi dim.”
