    Story

    Dear friends,
    On the 21st May 2017, I will attempt to run the The Stirling Scottish Marathon This is going be my first marathon and I can’t believe it’s just about 7 days left for something I’ve never done before! I go from feeling scared to excite to both at once.
    However I would like to dedicate my running to support this summer camp for orphans with disabilities which will be organised by my friends in Belarus this year.
    Many of you probably heard about Chernobyl disaster which happened about 31years ago. The Chernobyl explosion was the biggest nuclear catastrophe of the 20th century .The accident released radiation 200 times greater than that released by both atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 70% of the radiation fell on to the population of Belarus, affecting seven million people. Three decades after the incident which exposed radiation to millions of people cancer and birth defects are still affecting families. Life is extremely difficult for children born with disabilities and they were almost completely hidden from public view. In many cases, a disabled baby was abandoned at birth to State care, and doctors advised mothers to forget about their child, who “would probably die anyway”. Many of the kids suffer from congenital ailments including brai­n damage, neurological conditions and heart defects.
    So I would like to dedicate my run to the group of people who decided to dedicate their time over summer period to those children. They are going to have the summer camp for orphan children with disabilities. The main idea of the camp would be to show children they are NOT alone and to bring into their life some happiness some fun and opportunity to make friends. All donations would be used to support sport activities or to help with food cost during the summer camp.
    Every donation would be greatly appreciated and photos from summer camp will be posted in July!
