Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm running a half marathon in Paris on the 6th of March to raise money for the "Summer with Purpose" project that gives kids and young adults with autism spectrum disorders the opportunity to enjoy a much needed summer break. Your donation, even the smallest one, will keep this beautiful, evidence-based programme running for another year and will make a huge difference to the lives of children with special needs and their families in Russia!

I have been volunteering for the Naked Heart Foundation for almost 4 years now and I love every minute I spend with this wonderful team. Last October at a conference I saw the results of the 2015 summer camp programme and it was absolutely magical! How much the trainers, kids, and their families gained from this project is unbelievable, and I'm thrilled to join the Naked Hearts team for a half-marathon to keep this programme going.

I have never run a half marathon before and 21K sounds terrifying. But as my quarter life crisis approaching, I've decided to take on this challenge and try my best to cross the finish line and raise money. In lieu of gifts this year, my birthday wish is to give kids with special needs an amazing summer break! 

Please donate to keep this programme running (pun intended) and make my birthday wish come true!

6го марта в Париже я побегу полумарафон с командой фонда Обнаженные Сердца, чтобы собрать средства на летние интегративные лагеря для ребят с расстройствами аутистического спектра! 

Скоро мне исполнится 25 и вы можете сделать мне самый приятный подарок по этому случаю, сделав пожертвование абсолютно любого размера! Даже самая маленькая сумма поможет ребятам с особенностями развития получить полноценный летний отдых, и сделает меня самой счастливой именинницей на свете!
