On September 23, the VI Charity Run NORTHERN HELPS will take place. It’s a respite run and you can take part in it! On your own feet – running or walking – on a bike, rollerblades or scooter… Do it as you want and help build the Respite Care Center for family caregivers, which is being built in Gdańsk on the initiative of the Hospice Foundation. We start from Olivia Centre. We’re warming up on Olivia’s patio. Let’s do it! The goal is noble.

We run, we walk, we ride together!

For the sixth time, the Santander Foundation has organized a run for the Gdańsk Hospice Foundation. In the previous editions, 6875 people participated and we collected a total of 312 thousand. £. This year, we invite you to participate in two formulas: stationary and virtual.

• Stationary , i.e. you can run with the employees of both Foundations, covering a distance of 7.4 km, from Work Cafe Santander in Olivia Centre to Plac Zebrań Ludowych.
• Virtually, which means you can run in any part of the world where you happen to be.

What is the purpose of the run? Lofty!

Support for the construction of the Respite Care Centre, which is being built in Gdańsk on the initiative of the Hospice Foundation. The Respite Care Center is a place that will provide care for sick children and adults, and give their families a moment of rest. People who take care of sick relatives at home tend to be tired, burnt out, and overloaded with responsibilities. Just like all of us, they need at least a short vacation, a moment of respite, during which they can rest, take care of their needs and simply recharge their batteries. The Respite Care Center wants to accept the first charges as early as September this year. Learn more.
