'There's no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." (Nelson Mandela)

I believe doing any kind of sports can teach us about ourselves in many ways, stretch our limitations and give us a healthy body (&soul) awareness. All of these have so much positive effects on our lives!

Who would reject a nice chunk of healthy self-confidence?

When I was younger I used to play lots of different team sports with my school (enjoyed basketball mostly), and I realized quite soon, how much it helped me with being able to open up and trust the right people more. 

- This "gadget-full" world needs more face to face, live human interaction for the people to live a happier life in it. The other reason supporting SSF is the personal experience that I have lived through at the Allianz Park.  A year ago I was lucky enough to attend to a charity event on the side of the lady and her daughter that I used to care for, whom were invited to be there. Children were entertained by lovely games that they enjoyed on their best possible ways, Mums could have a little chat and getting to know each other on the side of a cup of tea&cake. The happening was long enough, that I could take a look around in the actual space it was organized. The collection of signatures& photos of famous people connected to sport life (one of them being Nelson Mandela) and the the Olympic Torches, the atmosphere of the whole event all together engraved the impression in me that this is the place where true magic can happen if someone's eyes are open enough and her heart is brave enough to make it happen. The experience was so strong that since then I wished to return back there and offer my support to share their passion with people. Just now I got to the point in my life when I could refresh this story of mine that was waiting excitedly in a shaded shelf in my spirit to make this dream of mine to come true: to support such a great bunch of people with a great cause (inspire communities and change lives through the power of sport)  which together is the magic formula to make great things happen in reality!

I am sure that huge amount of people find these reasons behind the Saracens Sport Foundation important, so all together we can collects loads of money for them! It goes to the best hands to create a :)-ier community here and now! Please take time to look into what they do on the following link: http://www.saracens.com/admin/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ImpactReport_2014_2015_web.pdf

With every penny I gather more motivation doing the first half marathon of my life as I feel how many people are next to us supporting such a great cause!

Thank you for your support :)!!!

Love,
