Whether at the home office, running up and down stairs, playing catch games with the children in the house or fitness exercises in the living room – the possibilities are unlimited. “In times like these, we have to move together much more virtually than ever before and motivate and support each other. Our thoughts are currently with all those affected personally and the medical professionals who are committed to treatments,” emphasizes CEO Jim Weber.
