50 (damn) years – but let’s turn it into help for kids with clubfoot
On August 4th, I’ll turn 50.
And honestly? It kind of sucks. (Okay, more than kind of.)
But I’ve decided to flip it around.
And honestly? It kind of sucks. (Okay, more than kind of.)
But I’ve decided to flip it around.
I don’t need gifts, flowers, or a party. I want to turn this stupid number into something that actually matters.
I want to convince 100 of you to set up a regular donation of 50 CZK per month to support children born with a condition called pes equinovarus – also known as clubfoot.
This specific campaign allows also one-time donation – and that’s totally fine, feel free to use it.
But if you REALLY want to help, set up a regular donation!

WHY?
- Because Achilleus (the nonprofit I co-founded and lead) changes the lives of kids and their parents.
- When a child is born with clubfoot, it’s a shock.
- Treatment is long, demanding, and requires tons of information, support, and reassurance.
What does Achilleus do – and how can YOU help too?
- We support parents in the scariest moments.
- We connect them with doctors who really know the Ponseti method.
- We run webinars, trainings, and family camps – even after treatment ends.
- We fund doctors to attend top international training.
- We do everything we can so that no child has to suffer from poor or outdated care.
And what if Achilleus didn’t exist?
- Parents would be left scared, isolated, and without help.
- Children would often end up undergoing unnecessary surgeries and living with lifelong consequences.
- Helplessness would win over hope.
I don’t want that. And I don’t think you do either.

Thanks for being in this with me – maybe this age won’t sound quite so awful after all. 😊

- 8/14/2025💙 Thank you to everyone who joined me for a “symbolic coffee” – and in doing so, stood alongside me and all the families of children with clubfoot.Honestly – I’m thrilled by how many of you got involved! ❤️Not only did we exceed the target amount, but so many of you chose to support us with a regular monthly gift. And that means the world – because monthly support isn’t just “here and now,” it adds up over time to bring so much more help to children and their families.Your support allows us to:
👣 Be there from the very first minute – for parents whose child is born with the congenital condition pes equinovarus (clubfoot).
👣 Provide clear and reliable information so they know what to expect and how to ensure proper treatment using the Ponseti method.
👣 Organize webinars and meet-ups that connect parents, professionals, and patients.
👣 Support peer mentors who share their own experience and give others courage.
👣 Offer help even after treatment ends, when relapses or other complications arise.Instead of flowers and gifts, you’ve given me the chance to keep doing work that truly matters. That’s the best birthday present I could wish for.
And – for each of you who reminds me next time we meet, I’ll be more than happy to buy that coffee for you in real life. ☕🙂 I’m looking forward to many such moments together.It’s amazing to know we’re not alone – that there are people around us who want to help alongside us. Thanks to you, Achilleus can keep standing by those who need us the most. ❤️
