On 4th January 2022, Malta tragically lost Dr Victor Calvagna. 

Dr Calvagna single-handedly setup the Paediatric oncology service in Malta some 20 years ago. 

 In Memory of Dr Calvagna, every 4th January, Crossfit356 host a yearly workout to remember his work and collect donations for Puttinu Cares.

This year was the second time the workout was held, with the aim of having more people join in and thus gather a bigger donation. By opening the gym to any members and non members alike, a whopping €1,750 were collected. 

In terms of workouts, 507km were rowed (the equivalent of Malta to Tunisia), 50,700 burpees were completed, and 1,521km were cycled (equivalent of Malta to France). 

Without Dr Calvagna, also a triathlete and a triple iron man, dozens if not hundreds of Maltese children with cancer would, at best, have had to spend years of their lives receiving treatment overseas. He was also a treasured mentor and much-loved colleague for everyone in the pediatric department.

Ex-Soldier Who Lost Limbs To Sepsis Should Get State Aid, Says MP

Ex-Soldier Who Lost Limbs To Sepsis Should Get State Aid, Says MP
Jan 5 2024 Share

Nationalist Party MP Alex Borg has motioned a parliamentary question to ask what the criteria are to get state aid for cases like that of Shawn Mifsud – a 37 year old ex-soldier who lost his arms and legs due to sepsis last summer. 

With him and his wife Graziana working to raise €200,000 to acquire bionic arms and prosthetic legs, the PN MP said in a public statement that the state should, in such cases, intervene to give the necessary support. 

‘As we know, Shawn is an optimist and has a lot of courage but he deserves to have prosthetic arms and legs to function’, wrote Borg. 

‘Apart from the help I know you will all offer, and encourage you to continue offering, we need a serious discussion which would see such families given aid by the state and even from organisations managed by the state effectively and efficiently.’

‘I have put forth a parliamentary question to see what the criteria one needs to fulfil for such cases to be state supported. I will see to it that if these criteria need to change, they are changed to today’s realities.’
