In this episode of ‘The Day Ends Well’ on Radio Lac, Benjamin Smadja receives Nicole Imesch, head of the stuffed animals operation at the Geneva Children’s Hospital (HUG). For 19 years, this initiative has brought together young and old around a unique sporting event: the teddy bear match. This concept imported from the United States by Jan Cadieux consists of throwing stuffed animals onto the ice, which are then collected to be offered to hospitalized children. Nicole Imesch, closely involved in hockey thanks to Yoann, her player son, shares with us the importance of this event for the community and the logistical challenges it represents. She also emphasizes the joy and responsibility she feels in organizing this event, which brings together clubs from throughout the Geneva region. A touching moment which highlights the positive impact of such an initiative on children and their families.
