Marathon “Recovery 58. Keep moving!"
Updated: Aug 18
“Hello!
On August 20, the day of my 58th birthday, I invite you to join my charity campaign, “58 Days of Recovery. What’s Your Next Step?”
One day.
Life doesn’t pass in years.
It passes in days.
Three hundred and sixty-five times a year, we receive the same gift — twenty-four hours.
Some people rush through them.
Some put things off until tomorrow.
And some try to fill them with meaning.
This year, my day will be different.
The 24 hours of my 58th birthday will not be spent at a festive table.
They will begin at night.
Then dawn will come.
Then the day.
Then night again.
And throughout all these twenty-four hours, I will be walking.
Not because I want to prove something to myself.
But because there are people around us for whom taking a single step is already a small victory. People who, after amputations or returning from captivity, are learning to live all over again every single day.
If my one day helps someone take one more step forward, then it will not have been lived in vain.
So this year, instead of birthday gifts, I am asking for something else.
Walk this day with me.
Not necessarily at the stadium.
You can walk a few steps along your own street.
You can take those steps in your mind.
Or you can take them through your donation.
On this day, I plan to complete 240 laps (108 km) — one for each of the 240 people we support — to raise funds for the emotional rehabilitation of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel following amputations and their return from Russian captivity.
Fundraising goal: UAH 580,000
One lap — one person’s need — is UAH 2,416.
I will take the steps. I ask you to help provide them with the strength to take theirs.
I would be grateful for a birthday donation — whether it’s for 100 meters, one lap, or any other distance you choose.
Join the fundraiser.
Because every contribution is also a step.
UAH 5.80 — 1 step.
UAH 58 — 10 steps.
UAH 580 — 100 steps.
UAH 5,800 — 1,000 steps.
My journey will last one day.
And your support will help our Defenders — men and women — take many more steps toward recovery.
Keep living.
Keep being.
And ..keep moving.”
