Another year of the legendary Run for Life charity run is over. This year it was held on Monday, April 15th and a record 215 runners participated! Thanks to their generosity, a total of CZK 24 215,- was raised to help little Vojtíšek. Our faculty defended the Dean's Cup this year as well, because it had more participants in the race than FaF UK.
Thank you to all competitors, congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to the sponsors who donated prizes for the winners of the run: LF HK, Kofola, Infinite medstyle, Godlike, Dr. Max, Klenot, Run 4 fun and GoMango.
And where will the proceeds from this year's event go?
The money will be given to Vojtíšek, a 14-month-old cowboy who is struggling with a diagnosis of Septooptic Dysplasia with Optic Atrophy and associated hormonal disorder. Although he can't see much and his eyesight is impaired, he is a very smart little boy who, despite his disability, is not afraid of new challenges and bravely fights everything. His parents will use the proceeds from the fundraising run to purchase contrast aids to develop motor skills and stimulate vision, as well as occupational therapy, which is not covered by health insurance.
If you missed this year's benefit run, we'd love to see you at the next one. We are already looking forward to it!
