Bigger. Better. Faster. Stronger.

Let’s do it again! I am participating in the half-marathon that will take place on the 2nd of March as a part of the Naked Heart Foundation team. This year we are raising funds for organising summer camps for children with diasbilities.

We can all agree that children and young people with moderate and complex disabilities have a great need for health-related and socially-rehabilitative rest and recreation. Unfortunately, coming from Urals myself, I understand that access to this kind of rest and rehabilitation in Russia is often limited and usually non-existent.

Together with the Naked Heart Foundation team, we support projects to run summer and autumn integrative camps, which play an important role in physical, psychological and intellectual development.

The scheme of summer breaks for children with special needs is educationally valuable, since it creates an environment in which children can relax emotionally, recover their health, have much-needed new experiences and communicate in a variety of different ways, including through work, learning, play and other areas of potential self-determination. I am taking that chance to make a difference for the kids in need.

As before, I feel confident that this donation is a noticeable contribution towards my goal and another small step in building a Russian philanthropic community.

I aim to raise as much funding as I can, so please join me and become a part of a good cause and donate. 

Thank you.
