Our cause

Who did we support?

They were the reason behind our 467.6 km.

Spokojny Kącik Foundation — logo

Spokojny Kącik Foundation

Some journeys are measured in kilometres. We measured ours in children's smiles, progress and hope 💙

The Spokojny Kącik Foundation supports children who fight every day for mobility, independence and a better tomorrow. Behind every smile there are hours of rehabilitation, huge effort, and parents doing everything they can to give their kids the best possible life.

The goal of the fundraiser was to organise another rehabilitation trip for the children and their families. It is not a regular holiday — it is a time of intensive therapy and specialist care, as well as joy, rest and togetherness.

The 8,490 PLN raised will help cover rehabilitation, therapy, accommodation, transport and care. Thank you to everyone who contributed!
