Please sponsor me in my run! All the contribution will go towards helping to change a friend of mine and her daughter lives for the better.

Auckland

I am organising a fundraising run for a friend of mine and I hope you can help me. Alina is one of the strongest, bravest, wisest women, who I hold a deep admiration for. She is raising a disabled child in my home country, the Ukraine. Nastia, her daughter was diagnosed with congenital internal hydrocephalus when she was 17 weeks old. Since then, she has had 10 surgeries and constant rehabilitation treatment. Nastia is now 11 years old and her Mum says she is developing very slowly. But each small step makes them both very happy. Alina’s goal is to get Nastia walking, which is achievable with constant treatments and hard work. Alina is the strongest woman I have ever met. She is extremely hard-working, never gives up and will do everything in her power to help her daughter rise up and stand on her own two feet. This family touches my soul and I am always thinking about them. I know it is very difficult for Alina, though she never complains, so I would like to help her the only way I can think of, with some financial support. All funds would go towards treatment and rehabilitation which Nastia needs at a cost of 800 euro every 6 weeks. I am going to run the Queenstown Marathon 2018 this weekend in support of Alina and Nastia who need my help, but I can’t do this without your help too. Please sponsor me in my run and know that any contribution, however small, will go towards helping to change their lives for the better. Please donate, and share with your friends x
