I have seen so many children overcome the challenges presented by their disability over the years with UAFA, that I want to overcome my own challenges with fitness to raise some money and help more children achieve their potential. For example, two brothers with cerebral palsy have been storming the weight-lifting world this past year, winning many gold medals and are now hoping to represent Azerbaijan in the next ParaOlympics.  One young girl has recently been accepted to Pedagogical University to train as a teacher - despite having no verbal communication.

In both cases, they came to UAFA's services from a young age and, during  more than 10 years, UAFA's child development specialists have helped them to build up their skills and confidence to succeed.

I am inspired by these children, young people and specialists to complete this Baku triathlon!

The funds I raise will help to continue these services so that more children can be part of society.

Thank you for supporting me.  It is MUCH appreciated.
