We will always remember Jørgen Philip-Sørensen not only as a sponsor and supporter, but also, most importantly, as a friendly, selfless and modest man who passed on his spirit to the foundation. A busy man all his life, he still always took pleasure in giving himself and his energies for the benefit of others:

"The more I read about allergies, the more pleased I am that I had the opportunity to participate in sponsoring the very worth-while project we are involved in", he once said.

We will certainly remain committed to these words and are guided by them in our daily efforts. Jørgen Philip-Sørensen’s vision was for all allergy sufferers to receive the best possible individualised treatment and lead enjoyable, worry-free lives. We want to pass on this spirit, this optimism and this joy in living to future generations.

The French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupèry once wrote, "With regard to the future, it is not our job to predict it, but instead to make it possible." Jørgen Philip-Sørensen would certainly see things the same way. It is our wish to continue and expand the work of the foundation in keeping with his values.
