The Poczta Polska Foundation organizes an unusual run and supports children with neurodevelopmental difficulties

On September 9 this year, in the area of ​​four Polish cities: Bydgoszcz, Kraków, Gdańsk and Katowice, the Poczta Polska Foundation "Pocztowy Dar", organizes a charity run. A week later - September 17 - also in the area of ​​Warsaw. Total income from starting fees will be transferred to therapeutic classes for children with diagnosed neurist development difficulties and their families. Additional attractions are provided for the participants of the event - players and supporters.

In all locations, the race will start at 11.11. The hour is not accidental. It is estimated that 1% of the population is people in the autism spectrum. The therapy of children with this disorder, but also with the diagnosed Asperger or ADHD syndrome, wants to support the "postal gift".

The run will be organized over a distance of 5 km, but each participant - using the mobile "unusual finish" - will be able to end the competition at any time. By introducing such a principle, the Foundation wants to build the awareness that what is easy for neurotypical people, for people with neurodevelopmental disorders is sometimes a huge challenge.

Participants of the race may be adults and young people over 12 years of age (start with a legal guardian). The Foundation also invites runners to participate in the event.

Funds for help for children with neurodevelopmental disorders will come from donations transferred to the Foundation in the form of starting fees. Here, as in the case of the finish line, there are no rigid boundaries. The minimum fee for the starter package, as part of which the participant will receive a start number, T-shirt, backpack-yard, 4MOVE drink and gadgets is PLN 30. Starters, however, can support the "postal gift" with a higher payment.

Participation in the event also means various additional attractions for players and supporters. Among them will be, for example, the possibility of visiting the Wieliczka mine (for a fee) and using the local graduation tower (the largest facility of this type in southern Poland), a corner with attractions for children (joint painting, coloring stamps, physical activities, including warm -up for the youngest), shows of fire brigades. There will also be a NFZ stand and Poczta Polska stand in each location. On the first, event participants will be able to take advantage of free tests (body weight, BMI, body composition) and advice (preventive programs, research calendar). On the second - commercial goods and philatelic values ​​will be available.

You can sign up for runs online - until September 7 for Bydgoszcz, Gdańsk, Katowice and Krakow, and in the case of Warsaw until September 14 . After these dates, everyone interested in starting can do this at registration positions. The more people start, the more children the Foundation will pay for therapies.

The partners of all events are: TVP Sport, TVP3, PKP Group Foundation, Apaczka, Foodcare, 4Move and Poczta Polska.
