Run with heart - for young hearts!

 

This year I have decided to give my wife a break from Movember and to use all the running I do to raise funds - this time for the young ones. The Bundesverband Herzkranke Kinder e.V. (https://www.bvhk.de/) supports children with cardiac anomalies and other heart deseases and their families. These kids and their families have to go through tough times with incredible amounts of examinations and surgeries and they spent more time in hospitals than anywhere else – putting not only tremendous psychological pressure on the family, but also causing enourmous financial burdens for the parents. 

 

How is my running suppsed to help? I'll run Cologne marathon on 13th October 2019 and I have come up with a few ideas of how you can support Bundesverband Herzkranke Kinder e.V. based on how I will do in training and the race - and at the same time create (even more) incentives for me to reach my target time. It’s simple: the faster, the more money for the kids. My target time is 3:04:59h and there are various ways in which reaching that goal can be to the kids' benefit.  

 

 

Here are some ideas of how you can donate for this campaign: 

 

 

However and whatever you give - thanks already. I’ll be incredibly thankful for whatever you give, but I will be no less thankful if you simply spread the word and make your entire network aware of the campaign. The more people know about it, the better. 

 

I'll make sure I'll do my best and get that extra kick of motivation knowing what and who I'm doing it for. 

 

I'll keep you posted.
