Running for Ukraine: Melbourne Marathon Runners Turn Every Step into Impact ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Congratulations to all the Melbourne Marathon runners on your incredible achievement today! ๐ Your determination, endurance and commitment made this event far more than a raceโit became a powerful act of solidarity with Ukraine.
Thanks to your energy, dedication and generosity, we have raised enough funds to purchase 90 bone fixation devices, or the equivalent value in other urgently needed medical aid to support people suffering from broken bones and war-related injuries. ๐ฆด๐ These devices will play a critical role in helping injured patients heal, recover mobility, and avoid life-altering complications.
Your support delivers real, life-saving help to those who need it most. We are deeply grateful not only for the funds raised, but also for the visibility, compassion and heart you brought to this cause. ๐
A special thank you to our very own USF Director Alina Yaremenko for leading the team with such passion and commitment. And heartfelt thanks to Nathan, Ksenia, Pippa, Areta, Anthony, Peter, Max, Montana and Dominic for the incredible effort you put into rallying your friends, colleagues and loved ones to support your fundraising campaigns.
Together, youโve shown whatโs possible when people run with purpose.
We shall notโand will notโgive up on Ukraine.
