Run for the roses to breathe! Leonid Lobanok

My name is Leonid Lobanok. For several years, I helped the Happy Child Foundation as a volunteer. Throughout these years, many children whom I tried to support became part of my life. Now I am the executive director of the foundation, so they are also my responsibility. Sometimes I feel a strong desire to move heaven and earth to save the life of at least one child! But what can I do to defeat their diseases? What can I do to save someone’s life? I run! I do not run away from problems and challenges but I run to resolve them! I run with a call to join our efforts to help children with the genetic disease of cystic fibrosis. My goal is with your support to raise UAH 14 235 to purchase chamber inhalers for children with cystic fibrosis to give them freedom!

Life of people with cystic fibrosis is a life under a strict schedule: taking medicines, inhalings, inspiratory and physical training. The medicines could be taken along. A convenient time and place for training could be arranged. But what could be done with an outlet for inhaler? It is impossible to strip a child of walk, classes and tours by "binding" them to an outlet under the schedule. Children with cystic fibrosis spend a considerable part of their life at hospital enough as it is, as well as undergoing daily tiring treatments. An OMRON portable inhaler could be a solution; it is functional, compact and noiseless. Due to this project of Happy Child foundation, children with cystic fibrosis will have an opportunity to undergo the timely treatment in a train, forest, at school or at somebody's house to help maximally support their health and extend their life.
