Story

Thank you for your time visiting my justgiving site. 

My story is quite simple. I started to run in 2016 as I felt that playing football once a week was not good enough for me to keep me fit and healthy. I started of with 3k, going to 5k, 10k and finally first half marathon which is 21,3k or 13.1 miles. In 2017 I run my first marathon and in 2018 started off with ultra marathons. Over next 3 years I have run countless number of half marathons, 8 marathons and 4 ultra marathons, the longest being 100 miles. I have decided to go even further and I have signed up for Race across Scotland, that race is 215 miles long. When signing up for that race I thought about my daughter Jagoda, who was diagnosed with Rolandic Beging Epilepsy when she was 8.  It is a mild epilepsy and thanks to medication she is seizure free for some time now. Jagoda is free, however most of the children must live with it and I have decided to try to change it, just a bit. I am raising money for Young Epilepsy so those young people might have a better chance of dealing with their epilepsy. I hope that with your help we will be able to raise this sum and help some children with their everyday fight. Thank you and God bless.
