Wino runs for KMSK

In Switzerland, about 350.000 children are affected by rare diseases. The Forderverein fur Kinder mit Seltenen Krankheiten (KMSK) is a foundation that supports children and families who are affected by rare diseases. It organizes networking events, social activities, and information meetings. These heartwarming events bring families together and offer a welcome distraction from the daily impact of living with a rare disease.

In 2020, we were planning to participate with a KMSK team in the SOLA stafette (a yearly relay run in Zurich) to raise awareness and funds for the foundation. Unfortunately, COVID-19 led to the cancellation of the race.

As an alternative, KMSK has organized the KMSK Swiss Challenge 2020, a COVID-19 compatible ‘virtual’ race where each runner participates individually. Between 11th of May and 18th October 2020, there will be 3 one-month stages during which I will try to run at least 200km each.

This fundraising event concerns the first stage (between 11th of May and 21st of June), during which I plan to run 200 km (within a month, starting on 11th of May). For each km, I will personally donate 1,- CHF to KMSK, and with this crowdfunding I hope to mobilize additional support (it will also help to keep me going).
You can track my effort via the blog (see link below), where I will share my progress towards the 200 km (all activities will be recorded digitally).

Of course, feel encouraged to join the KMSK Swiss Challenge 2020 by registering and become active yourself (hiking, biking, running, or golfing).

Disclaimer: There is no guarantee that I will reach the 200 km, but I will do my best. I do however guarantee a personal donation of CHF 200,-
