Forty for Sue Ryder!

Jana Červenková

Dear all,
I would like to cordially invite you
to the winter celebration of my 40th birthday for the benefit of Sue Ryder
– organization that makes it a point to professionally ensure that nobody has to deal with the old-age related difficulties by themselves.

When? 27th January 2019 at 8AM.

Where? Marrakesh, Morocco. You can participate with me through the series of online coverage.

Why? It is right there, where the run for the 40 kilometres and a little bit extra takes place! I’ll be running a marathon for the first time in my life and I would like to dedicate it to Sue Ryder, same as the spring Prague half-marathon at 2018. This run’s goal is to ensure the physiotherapy and rehabilitation for the clients who use the long-term residential care at the nursing home.

Gift ideas? If you would like to support the goal, you can send any financial donation straight to the nursing home. Will we be able to reach the goal of “40”?

The biggest gift of all: The donated “40” will be used to pay for 200 hours of rehabilitation exercises and physiotherapy for the nursing home clients, the fragile elderly.

These exercises should help the clients to strengthen their muscles, ease the stiffness of their joints, reduce the pain, help them regain more control over their bodies, act as a prevention of pressure sores, lower the risk of falls… and last, but not least, bring smile on their faces! Fine example is Mr. Václav, who is 98 and thanks to quality physiotherapy he is able to have fun and ride an exercise bike.

What’s in it for you? If you send me your correspondence address to jana.cervenka@gmail.com before the race starts, you can look forward to a postcard from Morocco!

So, the marathon? I don’t exercise on the bike, but I have made progress in my running routines since the half-marathon. The trainings were a bit irregular, every time I was able to squeeze them between my family responsibilities, but I have more or less doubled the distance I’m able to run. However, to run the marathon, I’m going to have to double the distance again! I’m lucky to have some friends with super-skills willing to share them with me and help me getting better! Attention! A swimsuit might be of use during the preparations!

What about the trip? To be honest, I caught a travel fever as soon as the flight ticket arrived to my mailbox several weeks ago! It will surely be a lot of fun!

Any wishes? I hope you will enjoy this celebration as much as I will. I would also like to wish you that you spend every day fully in health, joy and with those you love!

So, cheers and thank you very much!

Jana
