Dear visitor and supporter,

I am delighted to welcome you to my JustGiving page. The page is dedicated to fundraising for the Naked Heart Foundation, the charity I have founded and I am extremely passionate about. I am very excited about the upcoming semi-marathon in Paris, which I call ' Run With Heart'.

At Naked Heart we devote ourselves to our two primary programs: 'Play is a necessity not a luxury' and 'Every child deserves a family'.

The 'Play is a necessity not a luxury' program is devoted to building safe and secure environment for children to play. Most of this activity is carried out across Russia in underprivileged urban areas. In the past six years we have built 65 play facilities in 47 Russian cities and we hope that with your continued support we can continue our construction program in the coming year.

'Every child deserves a family' program aims at reducing the number of children in isolated state institutions by way of providing support to the families with children with special needs. In one year the foundation already financed 18 such projects in 7 cities of Russia. We are convinced that supporting the family during the whole life of a child with special needs from early support, development and education to the career choice and provision of sustainable living we could maintain children within their own families, learn to correctly perceive and accept individuals with special needs and abilities.

The Paris half-marathon is a wonderful opportunity for myself and The Naked Heart team to run with the heart for the wonderful cause and raise extra funds for our activities. We would be infinitely grateful for your generosity and support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Not only your data is not shared with third parties but also your contribution is sent directly to The Naked Heart Foundation with the benefit of reclaiming Gift Aid to add those extra pounds that make a difference.

I look forward to this run a lot, the 'Run With Heart'.

Regards,

Natalia
