I conquer «Miles of Grace», Andriy Senyczak

I’m ethnic Ukrainian. Despite being born and spending most of my life in Western Europe, I followed my heart and returned to my roots — to Ukraine. Now, in L’viv, I feel I've finally found my place. I understand that here I can be of greater use to my country. I want to and will do everything in my power to bring European living standards to Ukraine.

One of the most basic European values is quality of medical care. I cannot stand by and turn a blind eye when children's lives are at stake, especially those affected by the AIDS epidemic. I'll be in Kyiv on September 4 and intend to race 100 km with my friends and like-minded companions from the "Kyivska Sotka". For me, this is not merely a sporting challenge; it's an opportunity to raise funds to support the work of mobile clinics providing medical care to HIV-positive children in the most remote regions of Ukraine.
Please support my participation in the "Miles of Grace" project, which will surely give me the strength to reach my objective. Please help our country take one more more crucial step towards Europe...

Mobile clinics have been working in Ukraine for more than 7 years. Due to their work HIV-positive children from small towns have access to qualified health care. Team of doctors and social workers on regular basis deliver mediсines and supplies to the most outlying and affected by HIV/AIDS regions of Ukraine. This project provides the access to high-level medical assistance to low-income families, keeps the communication between central and local hospitals and specialists, significantly increases the coverage of the patients’ diagnostics and monitoring, and consulting their families. Mobile clinics give the opportunity to educate medical staff, raise their level of professional knowledge. Due to the scale of the project it becomes possible to create the database of the patients.

All raised funds will be directed to medical supplies purchase, to expand the work of mobile clinics and to increase medical staff involvment.
