Story

Привет! Меня зовут Игорь Рызов. Я родился и вырос в Минске, Беларусь. Я триатлонист и 6 ноября 2021 года я участвую в Ironman Florida. Это мой первый благотворительный старт. Я хочу поддержать проект мемориального парка на территории бывшего Минского Гетто.  А это история 150 тысяч уничтоженных узников, в том числе детей и стариков. Эта трагедия коснулась и моей семьи. Говорят, что человек жив, пока о нем помнят. Я хочу помочь сохранить память о невинных жертвах нацизма. Я проплыву 3.8 км, проеду на велосипеде 180 км и пробегу 42 км за день в поддержку совместного проекта The Together Plan и Международной Благотворительной организации "Диалог" по созданию мемориального парка, где будут увековечены имена тех, кто боролся с нацистами в гетто и тех, кто спасал, рискуя своей жизнью. Выжившие узники сегодня говорят: "Не красота спасет мир, а доброта." Я тоже хочу в это верить. А чтобы поверить в добро, нужно начать его делать. Друзья, поддержите меня  и помогите достигнуть поставленной цели. 

Hello! My name is Igor Ryzov. I was born and grew up in Minsk, Belarus. I am a triathlete and I will compete in the race Ironman Florida on November 6, 2021. This is my first charity start. I want to support the project towards construction of a Memorial Park on the site of the former Minsk Ghetto. This is the story of 150 thousand murdered prisoners, including children and old people. This tragedy also affected my family. It’s said that a person is alive as long as they are remembered. And I want to help preserve the memory of the innocent victims of Nazism. I will swim 3.8 km, cycle 180 km and run 42 km in a day in support of the joint project of The Together Plan and International charitable organization “Dialog to create a Memorial Park, where the names of those who fought the Nazis in the ghetto and those who saved risking their own lives will be commemorated. The prisoners who survived say today: Beauty will not save the world, but kindness will". I also want to believe in it. And in order to believe in goodness, you need to start doing it. Dear friends, support me and help me achieve my goal.






About the charity

The Together Plan

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1154167
The Together Plan is a UK charity dedicated to the rehabilitation, repair and revival of Jewish communities coming out of collective trauma in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, enabling, rather than providing, through a self-help approach. In spite of the traumatic past, there are many who yearn to reconnect with their lost identity. It is the mission of The Together Plan charity, to help those Jews still living in the region learn how to rebuild their communities, and also to reconnect those in the diaspora to their ancestry and the homes they left behind. The Together Plan is playing a vital and much needed role in the repair and renewal process for a better connected and meaningful Jewish future for Jews everywhere. We send humanitarian aid and resources that reach Jewish and non-Jewish communities throughout Belarus and our community work helps to bring Jewish and non-Jewish people together for a better civil society.
