Today. Thank you so much! As you can see, we have now reached our donation target for the New York Marathon fundraising initiative. This page, however, will stay open for donations and you are most welcome to contribute. The money fundraised by our Charity will be used in full on charitable projects in Ukraine in 2008.
After 4 Nov. Thank you for your generous donations so far, you have been very kind with your responses. I have completed the ING New York City Marathon in 3:36:07 - one of the best running experiences. (got my finisher medal too ;-) Most importantly we will be able to help the orphanage. Many thanks for your contributions!
Before 4 Nov. Thank you for your time to consider this request. Over the last few years I have run several marathons and with support of my friends and colleagues fundraised both for UK charities and for a project in my home country Ukraine. Recently we have officially started www.UkraineCharity.org.uk/project.html focusing, among other things, on orphan children receiving limited state and no parental support. On Sunday, 4 November I will run my fifth marathon (this time in New York) helping fundraise £6,000 to finance refurbishment of the halls of residence of the Communal Orphanage No.2 in Lviv, Ukraine.
I would really appreciate if you consider supporting this initiative. Many thanks!
