In honor of the significant date, the Charity Music Run was held in Almaty. Outdoor enthusiasts competed, covering half-marathon and ten-kilometer distances, reports Almaty.tv correspondent.
All proceeds from the run were directed to charity—aid for children with cancer.
“All the money goes to acquiring equipment, or for furnishing common rooms, and for the treatment of children with cancer. In 2018, we have already directed funds to help sick children,” said organizer Gulnar Musataeva.
Over a thousand people took part. Participants included not only running enthusiasts but also those involved in Nordic walking. It should be noted that this run was the third of its kind. The intention is to continue the tradition annually to support children with cancer.
“After this run, we plan to acquire special electric beds for the intensive care units of our institute, specifically for cancer patients,” noted Konstantin Khairov, head of the surgical block at the Scientific Center for Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery.
