Yeses and noes⚖️
⚖️ While preparing for the marathon, I’m facing a lot of sacrifices, careful planning, and often long, uncomfortable training runs. Of course, all of this was my own decision – but this period still comes with compromises. Many times I have to say no to things I would enjoy doing, and yes to things I would rather skip. ❤️🩹 For children who need hospital treatment, however, their everyday lives are not determined by their own choices. Their days are shaped by the medical team and strict protocols. They don’t get to decide whether to say yes or no to a medical test. The team at Bátor Tábor makes sure they are not forgotten. They give these children a chance to break away from the monotony of hospital days. GO! volunteers bring a bag full of adventure and carefree moments right into the hospital rooms. The children can decide what they would like to join. Here, finally, they have a say in what happens to them. In 2024, I also joined this team, and once a month one of my afternoons fills up with wonderful smiles and laughter. 💫 At the end of every session, we receive a sticker – and as adults, it brings just as much joy as it did when we were kids. Each sticker later brings back the adventures and unforgettable moments from that day. 💭 These small memories will also be with me during the marathon – reminding me with every kilometer why it’s worth running.

🐕🌳 As I prepare for the big challenge, my two greatest supporters during my runs are my dog, Hekla, and nature. 🐎🌱 At the camp, children and volunteers are also surrounded by a wonderful natural environment, where they can experience firsthand what it feels like to connect with another living being. During the equestrian program, children have the opportunity to build strong focus and a meaningful bond with an animal in a safe setting. In the process, they not only gain confidence in riding but also learn more about themselves. Meanwhile, through the fun games of the horse-assistant ...
Miracle-Working Locations at Bátor Tábor (Part 1)
🌞 At Bátor Tábor, there are so many special locations that make the camp truly unique. At every program site, volunteers stand ready to help campers gain lifelong experiences through adventures and games. Every single program will be with me during my run — because each one is worth running the marathon for. 🪖 There’s the Courage Program, for example, where on a high ropes course, children discover just how much they are capable of — even at such heights. 🏹 Hidden among the dense trees is the archery range. Here, campers can truly experience that they can reach their goals — they ...

In 42 days, I will run the first marathon of my life, naturally wearing a purple T-shirt in the colors of Bátor Tábor. 💜 That day I will run 42 kilometers, which will be no small challenge for me. Although I’ve been regularly lacing up my running shoes and enthusiastically putting in the miles for the past 10 years, I have never covered such a long distance before. But this achievement cannot compare to the strength and perseverance of the children and their families whom I have met at Bátor Tábor. 💪 I surely have at least 42 reasons to support the work of Bátor Tábor. At the top ...
