21K virtual run4ukraine
Sport has the power to unite people in quite a unique way. When I contacted my friend elite runner Alessandro (nickname: Sherpa) to become the ambassador of a 21K virtual run to support Ukraine, I was far from guessing that he was himself very busy gathering supplies and delivering those directly from Italy to Ukraine driving vans with his team. He took time away from work and racing to run an incredible campaign.
Guess what, my other friend Eszter Csillag an elite runner from Hungary based in Hong Kong in now in Budapest working at a refugee centre to welcome Ukrainian civilians.
