I am running for hearts of babies. Valentyn Degtyar

"Hello, I am Ivan. I work in media-company as IT-manager. I like running and sports tests. Since 2012, I ran 10 km many times in a various mass race. Once I ran a half marathon – 21 km! Now I will again overcome this distance on the Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon with a special sense. I decided to dedicate my run to small Ukrainians, which are born with heart pathologies.

I will overcome kilometers for their fastest recovery and their healthy and successful future. A possibility to help – It is the best motivation for own victories. Small patients are rescued by high technologies of contemporary medicine and skills of physicians. It is supernatural responsibility and very hard work.

My charity aim is to collect 5 000 UAH on the renovation of a Fiber Bronchoscope for the Center of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery. This equipment serves for cleaning children’s lungs after the heart operation. I call everyone to support this aim and make a donation. It should not necessarily be big or small, because together everything is possible!

Everyone is born for happiness. Everyone has a right to a healthy heart and everyone can support a good deal. I want all hearts to beat in a healthy rhythm!".
