My friend and I have decided to challenge ourselves to running a 10k. This is something neither of us have ever done and before this the furthest I had ran was 5k. I recently moved to paris this year and wanted to mark my first year living there by accomplishing something new. While this is also a challenge for me I wanted to be able to raise money for the Ukrainian refugees along the way, as when I started to run I kept thinking about how far some of them had to walk and travel and it made my 10k seem like a walk in the park. Like my father I am extremely passionate about helping others and I thought this personal challenge was also a great opportunity to help others and I am even more so motivated to complete this run now that I am not only doing it for myself but also the Ukrainian refuges.
