The headquarters of Plast in Lviv, the Ukrainian Leadership Academy and the Probig running club started a charity run to raise funds for armored personnel carriers for the Lviv Teroboronov soldiers who have been serving in the combat zone since April.
On Saturday, December 3, those willing will be able to join the run offline in Lviv in Stryi Park. They will start near the Suputnyk A restaurant, and from December 3 to 12, Ukrainians from different parts of the country and the world will be able to join the race online. Commemorative medals await the finishers.
The co-organizer of the race is Orysya Demyanyuk from Lviv – current champion of Ukraine in athletics, master of sports of Ukraine, member of the national team of Ukraine, and recently a mentor in physical development and safety at the Ukrainian Leadership Academy. Orissa’s husband, Dmytro Demyaniuk, until recently a professional track and field athlete, two-time participant of the Olympic Games, European champion in high jump, and brother Yuriy, who was also a track and field runner, volunteered to join the ranks of the 103rd ground defense brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on February 25.
“We have already found an armored personnel carrier, it remains to collect funds, bring it from Poland to Ukraine and repair it a little. The required amount is 800,000 hryvnias. As of today, more than 160,000 have been collected,” says Orysya Demyanyuk.
