I run to pay for hours of life. Lidiia Kuzmenko

How much does life cost? We believe that life is invaluable. It's easy to say when you are healthy and the course of events is interrupted only by a cold or a kicked foot. Simply ponder the philosophical categories until there is a choice of life and death. In such a situation, Oksana Smal was: after diagnosis of kidney cancer, the standard treatment – surgical removal, chemotherapy, irradiation – did not help.

Doctors say that the woman is incurable. However, doctors managed to lick cancer and the tablets "Afinitor", which a woman takes daily for the second year in a row. Medications not only stopped the progression of the disease but also improved. The metastases, which have already struck the lungs and the spine, have decreased, pain has occurred, there has been a desire to live. Great news! Medicines cost more than 26.000 UAH. Per month or 888 UAH Per day, or 37 UAH per hour. Bad news ...

However, by joint efforts, we could contribute to the continuation of a happy life. It was for this purpose that the Open Palms Foundation organized a fundraiser during the Wizzair Kyiv Marathon on October 8, 2017. I will run a distance of 5 km. I would like to be able to collect for Ms. Oksana Smal funds sufficient to provide 150 hours of life, or 5 550 UAH.
