Sokol Mariia. I'm running to save my life

Maria Sokol, founder and head of WELLNESSCONCEPT Club, Rehabilitologist, nutritionist, wellnesscoach. Maria has very warm relations with the sport - for already 20 years he is running 2-3 times a week during the working time and each day when she is on vacation.

On October 8, Mariia Sokol will run not for fun and not to train, but for people, for whom donor blood is vitally important. And she will raise funds for Kiev Blood Center to buy consumables for testing blood.

"I have medical background and my work started in intensive therapy of children's infectious diseases department. So I know that lack of donor blood can cost human life. Purchasing of modern equipment, timely filling in of blood bank, professional staff - these are the needs of today's reality. Hopefully none of us will never ever need to knock at the doors of the Blood Center to get help. We all have to understand that we can not rely on the effectiveness of state programs. There are times, when everyone can contribute to the solution of these issues. We are the state, if not we - than who?".
