The third year of war in Ukraine against the Russian invasion. Ukrainian people remain resilient as they fight for their right to be a Nation. The war has left countless people in dire need of humanitarian assistance. Millions of people are displaced, and wounded, requiring urgent assistance, food, medical aid, shelter, education, and more. The Run for Ukraine event aims to provide much-needed support to those affected by the conflict, helping them rebuild their lives and communities. We believe that together, we can make a significant difference and offer hope for a brighter future.
