Élménykülönítmény (The Troop of Philanthropists), the charity runners’ community of the Bátor Tábor Foundation (Camp of Courage Foundation), was founded to support children living with serious diseases in Hungary. Our team members enter marathon and half-marathon races. With the performances that put us to the test, we would like to call the attention of those living around us to the issue of children with diseases. We call upon our friends, relatives and colleagues to give help jointly: we offer the kilometres we cover during the races or the preparations for symbolic adoption – for even the price of a coffee or a cinema ticket.
We are neither professional runners nor professional fundraisers. The intention to help and the joy of running binds us. There are multiple individual marathoners among us but we also have runners who put on running shoes again after 10 years – for the Bátor Tábor and the children with diseases camping there. One thing is certain, none of us regrets joining the Élménykülönítmény. Though the company is rather multi-coloured: starting from the mother of four, through the cello-artist, to the teacher, the biologist and the secondary-school student. Anybody who would like to put new meaning into his kilometres covered while running, and help a good cause with it, can join our team.
Our initiative was launched in 2010, by now it has become the largest charity runners’ team in Hungary. So far 850 of us have run marathon or half-marathon races as members of the Élménykülönítmény, raising over 80 million Forints. Our team expects you as well. Join us as a fellow runner or as the supporter of our charity cause. With you we get further!
