Run for Help, Run for Health, Run for Fun - Run to get children back on their feet. Today I would like to inform you about the usage of your donations, our mission and what we can achieve together with this project. Since 2010 I have been involved in various projects, since 2013 in cooperation with the Al Jalila Foundation, for children with amputations, deformities or other health restrictions, so that they can literally stand with both feet in life again. The aim of these projects is to enable children - including sick children and children deformed by accident, war or childbirth - to have a better quality of their life through mobility. The kids should be able to lead an independent life and enjoy ease and light-heartedness. The reasons are complex, but their effects are always dramatic. Childhood amputations are a serious turning point in a family's life. Life tips - in the truest sense of the word - "off your feet and out of balance". Because of the deformities, many children do not feel fully integrated, have only limited opportunities to get an education or have enormous difficulties starting their professional life. Unfortunately, in some countries the costs for necessary life changing surgeries and / or rehabilitation, as well as medical aids, cannot be raised, or only insufficiently, for the children concerned.
And this is exactly where I would like to help, with the donation money a necessary operation and / or with an intensive rehabilitation, as well as the use of medical aids can be used and children like Mohammed or Suha can thus look positively into a carefree future.

All of this are reasons enough for me every morning to find the motivation for the next 42-50 km. I run for help! ❤
