I am so happy I have had the opportunity to co-organize small charitable events over the past few years, the proceeds of which went to orphanages and families of seriously ill children.
I still meet many of them nowadays and I believe this will not change.
In fact, during the meetings with the children, I realized I had rarely seen signs of regret, abandonment, indifference, anger on their faces.
On the contrary, despite their difficult fate, they often gave smiles, laughter and help to us – healthy ones.
For me, the word courage means to want to wake up to a new day despite it is going to be full of pain and suffering, to have the power to fight that everything, and even to smile at it and say at the end of each difficult day: “I’ll try again tomorrow. ”
I am extremely grateful I personally have a beautiful family, we are all alive and healthy, we can see the beauty of nature, we can hear birds chirping, we can smell the flowers, have something to eat and drink and don’t miss the shelter.
… and since I have two healthy legs, I will take the opportunity to help create a better place to live for children who deserve it more than anyone else.
On August 21st and 22nd I am going to run a 110 kms long trail run across beautiful Slovak karst together with Lenka Vacvalova.
I am selling my kilometers and donating the money to camps for oncologically ill children.
I’ll be glad if you support me in my effort.
