Description
Join us in a noble cause as we lace up our running shoes for the "Run for the Ukrainian Heroes who are still remain in russian captivity" run. This run is dedicated to supporting the Azov Brigade, a group of brave Ukrainian defenders who have been at the forefront of defending their homeland Ukraine.
To show our appreciation and solidarity, we have organized this run with a mission to provide much-needed assistance to both the Azov Brigade defenders and their families. We also run for all Ukrainian prisoners of war, advocating for the release of everyone, including the brave heroes of the Azov Brigade who are STILL HELD by russia.
