Svitlana Tarabarova: I will run to thank the hero

My name is Svitlana Tarabarova and I am joining a “Run Ukraine” and “The Victors” project.Communicating with the heroes of the project “The Victors” I understood how strong they are. You can break the concrete and you can hurt your body but you cannot ever break these people’s spirit!

The story of Oleksii Avanesian, who have lost his leg in the Battle of Ilovaisk impressed me. He did not give up, he didn’t stop, but on the contrary, he improves himself every day. His active part in the multimedia project “The Victors” help hundreds of wounded soldiers understand the main thing -losing your limb doesn’t mean losing yourself.

Sports prosthesis will give Oleksiy Avanesyan the opportunity to work, train, run and play basketball - everything you do every day, but usually what you do not value…

This year on the 9th of April on the Kyiv Half Marathon a special charity 2km race “The Victors” will be held. Veterans with disabilities, Paralympians and other people willing to donate for the sports prosthesis for Oleksiy will take part in the marathon. http://www.kyivhalfmarathon.org/race/peremozhtsi-2-km

I will take part in this charity race with pleasure in order to help raise money for the sports prosthesis for ATO veteran Oleksiy.

So this is our opportunity to show our gratitude to the hero Oleksiy Avanesian and help his dream to run and play basketball come true. Your every Hryvnya is priceless.

I am going to raise 10 000 UAH.
