The run in support of children living with HIV concludes

On December 1, the run in support of children living with HIV ended, and Life4me+ are pleased to announce that over the 36 days of the race distance was covered by the participants was an impressive 6,864 kilometres.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the race and helped to earn 10,000 euros. This means that the summer camp ‘EVERYTHING IS SIMPLE’ for children living with HIV can now take place.

People have been active across the whole 36 days, but especially close as we approached the deadline. 380 people from 20 countries took part in the race. The most represented countries, by number of participants, were: Russia (261), Kazakhstan (44) and Kyrgyzstan (15).

The participants of the race helped raise money for a summer rally for Russian-speaking children living with HIV, which will be held in 2022 on the coast of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. This event helps children and adolescents get reliable information about HIV, understand their diagnosis, increase their commitment to treatment, and make new friends.

*The virtual race in support of children living with HIV was organized by Life4me+ together with the European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG). The start was announced on October 27 2021 at the 18th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2021).
