Women Run Up and Down for old age with dignity

Jana + Katka + Lenka + Katka
4 women, 18 peaks in the Lusatian Mountains, 300,000 CZK for Sue Ryder
Back in 1925, some very adverse weather conditions meant that dog sleds were the only way of making the 1800km journey to the remote Alaskan village of Nome to deliver a serum against the deadly diphtheria infection before it was too late. It got there, and the feat is remembered to this day: part of that historic route now features in the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, “the last great race on Earth”, a legendary extreme sporting event in which the goal is not so much to win as simply to survive.

Here we are in 2021, and us 4 women also face a challenge that is all about survival, in this case so that people can grow old with dignity. Our goal is to help provide care for the dying through Sue Ryder - to maintain the extent and quality of the services Sue Ryder provides and help to disseminate the organization’s good practices throughout the Czech Republic. The Sue Ryder care home is currently 300,000 CZK away from full funding for this year.

Because care for the elderly is a topic close to our hearts and since all four of us also share our passion for running, we have decided to join forces and “run up” the funds by challenging ourselves to complete the Prominent Peaks in the Lusatian Mountains together - to conquer all 18 peaks on the more than 100 km-long course involving over 4000 metres of ascent - and all in the space of 24 hours.

This is your invitation to join us! Please support our efforts in aid of dignity in old age in the Czech Republic by sponsoring us and joining us on the brilliant adventure that only the combination of ultra-running, sponsorship and care for our loved ones can provide!

We will be running in Advent, over the long weekend of 3. - 5. December 2021. We will confirm the precise start time and location shortly beforehand, as it is weather dependent. You will be able to track our progress along the course online and we will keep you updated about everything related to the challenge on both Darujme.cz and Facebook.

Thank you for doing this with us!
