We run to help a hero. Zinaida and Artem Koziar

Zinaida is on maternity leave and Artem is a programmer. When we heard about Viktor Kardash’s story we could not remain indifferent, because when you talk to guys with no limbs who have gone through hell, you begin to look at things in a different way. It is such a pity that this young and talented man experienced so much pain and torment! We want to help Viktor Kardash from Mykolaiv region, ATO veteran, The Victors’ project hero. Victor volunteered for military service in the ATO zone and fought in the Donetsk region.

We want to help Viktor Kardash from Mykolaiv region, ATO veteran, The Victors’ project hero. Victor volunteered for military service in the ATO zone and fought in the Donetsk region. 

After going through dozens of combat missions, Viktor was injured during military exercises. His legs were severely injured by shell fragments. Doctors managed to save his left leg, but they had to amputate his right one.

Viktor worked as a choreographer before the war. After returning to civilian life, he decided to start studying physical rehabilitation and acquired a new profession of prosthetist to help amputee veterans like himself.

Viktor Kardash is a dedicated man with an active life position. He has not given up and unhesitatingly moves on. Sport for Viktor is a possibility to develop himself, to improve his health and demonstrate to other amputee veterans that an active and productive life is possible even when one has a prosthetic limb!

During a marathon which takes place on 8 October in Kyiv we are going to raise funds for the purchase of special running prosthetic blades for Viktor Kardash. Please join us!

The fundraising target is UAH 10,000. Let’s together help our hero to return to sport!
