Kacper, an 11-year-old boy suffering from cerebral palsy, has more than three hundred friends. That’s how many runners took part on 17 December 2023 in the VI Charity Christmas Eve Run, organised by the Mums Club in Nowa Sól and the Adam Draczyński form Running Team.

Team Erwin Hymer Group was the largest group among the companies, with as many as 30 people representing the campervan giant. Team EHG was characterised by good energy, willingness to help and great commitment.

 

The Erwin Hymer Group team was special to me, because they are my husband’s co-workers 🙂 I worked well with Dominika, you can see the commitment of this person and the potential of the team,” reports Ewelina Mandzyn. Marcin Sznajder – a coach at Adam Draczyński Running Team – adds that the team stood out because of the number of competitors.

 

The route of this year’s run was as long as 5 kilometres, the preparation of this unique initiative took 3 months, its genesis is beautifully described by Wioletta Zabawska – vice president of the Mums Club.

 

The idea of the run was born in the summer of 2016: I remember that day like today…10 pm: 00, the Children’s Home in Kożuchów… My friend Dagmara came home from the day swap…depressed…it was summer…the holiday period… I ask her why she is so sad, thoughtful…. Dagmara answered that they had come back from the seaside with her daughter Ola and Ola felt something wrong, she was vomiting, she had a headache… They go to the doctor, but she hopes that everything will be fine… A few days later it turns out that Dagmara’s daughter Ola, then 5. year old has a brain tumour… An operation is needed… Tears run down her cheek…. I have that moment in my memory when Daga came to the orphanage with tears in her eyes and announced that Ola was not well. That’s when I decided to do something… 1000 thoughts in my head, tears, compassion…yes! We will raise the money! But from where? how? such an amount?…I love sports and I run…I thought of a charity run for Our Olga… And so I did. I called my Ilonka, the president of the Mums’ Club, with this idea, of course she agreed and we started to act, involving mums from the Mums’ Club and other associations and institutions until today, for the 6th time, we ran for someone… in need.

 

The organisers consider this year’s edition of the run to have been exceptionally successful, with good weather and good people. We also raised a record amount of money – as much as PLN 20 000.

– We also made a contribution in the form of a financial donation, starting fees and the purchase of personalised, logoed T-shirts for the EHG team. Corporate social responsibility activities remain a sine qua non of the company’s operation in the local environment. We are pleased that the initiative has motivated and integrated our team and we remain open to further initiatives.

– informs Łukasz Ossowski Head of Operational Excellence
