The Stroke Fight Foundation “ORBI” will hold a run “Together Against Stroke” at VDNH on October 10. Funds raised as part of the event will be directed to providing legal and psychological assistance to people who have suffered a serious illness, as well as to their relatives.
Three routes ranging from one to five kilometers will be prepared for race participants. The choice of distance makes the start suitable for both experienced runners and beginners. Participation is free for people who have had a stroke and want to complete the chosen distance as a sign of victory over the illness.
The race will include individual and team competitions. In the solo runners group, participants who take the first three places among men and the same number among women in each distance will be awarded, and a separate cup is provided for the corporate team.
The team of the project “City of the Caring” will also join the event: its participants will not only take part in the race but also organize a creativity zone for fans, where they can create posters to support the runners. More details at official website of the race.
Stroke Fighting Foundation “ORBI” — the first specialized fund that systematically addresses the problem of stroke in Russia. It was founded in 2010. The organization helps people who have faced the disease, as well as their relatives and loved ones, supports healthcare institutions, and conducts advanced training courses for medical personnel. In addition, the fund draws public attention to the issue of stroke and the importance of timely qualified assistance in case of symptom manifestation. During its operation, the organization has helped pay for over 150 rehabilitation courses and informed more than 30 million people about the early signs of the disease.
In the premises received free of charge under the “Moscow — a Kind City” program, occupational therapy sessions are held. Specialists from a non-profit organization work with people who have suffered a stroke: they relearn how to hold objects, button buttons, navigate the apartment, and plan a route to the store or pharmacy.
Holding sports events for the whole family at VDNH aligns with the objectives of the national project “Sport Russia”. More details about Russia’s national projects and the capital’s contribution can be found at special page.
