Story
For the first time in my life I am running a half marathon, 21 km, and looking forward to it!
I will run to support the Naked Heart Foundation, one of the most prominent international children's charities, in its mission to ensure that every child has a loving family and a safe and stimulating place to play, the two things essential for a happy, fulfilling childhood.
This year, myself and other runners will combine physical forces and fundraising efforts to support a special project - integrative summer camps for children with special needs and their families in Russia.
In 2013, the Foundation provided full funding for 9 camp projects, which allowed over 500 children to enjoy a real summer break.
The typical project costs 11 500 euro, which is 14 days of holidays in summer camp for 25 children with special needs.
You can find all the impact reports and financial documents here:
