Run for Elija

I am participating in VHI Women’s Mini Marathon on June 4th to support a little girl - Elija.

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love. (Mother Teresa).

I am not an athlete and I wouldn't even call myself a runner. For some, this distance of 10 kilometers might seem funny - I will be running it for the second time. Last year, it was like a test of my own strength. But this year, I would like to contribute to the rehabilitation of a little girl named Elija by running, so that every kilometer and every meter would have meaning.

Yes, I am not a running champion and I will certainly never become one. But is that really important? We don't have to be heroes or winners in order to give hope to a little person together.

I ask you to support little Elija and contribute to my modest endeavor.

Every euro you donate is infinitely important. Every euro will turn into goodness and love. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart!

Elija

In this photograph Elija is still enjoying her careless childhood just like any other kid of her age. Now Elija is 9 years old, she spends a lot of her time in hospitals.. Elija's mum finds it difficult to speak of diagnosis.. It all started with a simple flu, when doctors realised that there is something else.. Today Elija can bearly move, she needs regular kinesiotherapy, which would help with current condition and improve the ability to move. All I really want is for this little girl to be able to enjoy the sunshine, the upcoming summer, I want her to be able to enjoy her childhood and tackle this diagnosis which has put a cruel label on her.. So I like to invite everyone to help, it doesn't matter if its only couple of euros, every euro counts.

Birželio 4 dieną, bėgsiu VHI Moterų Mini Maratone.

Ne visi mes galime daryti didelius dalykus. Bet mes galime daryti mažus dalykus su didele meile (Motina Teresė).

Nesu sportininke ir netgi nevadinčiau savęs bėgike. Šią kai kam gal juokingą atstumą - 10 km bėgsiu antrą kartą. Pernai tai buvo tarsi savo jėgų išbandymas. O šiemet norėčiau bėgdama prisidėti prie mažos mergaitės, Elijos, reabilitacijos, kad kiekvienas nubegtas kilometras, metras turėtų prasmę.

Taip, nesu bėgimo čempionė ir jau tikrai ja netapsiu. Bet argi tai svarbu? Neturime būti dydvyriai ar nugalėtojai tam kad kartu vienam mažam žmogučiui padovanotume viltį.

Prašau jūsų palaikyti, mažąją Eliją ir prisidėti prie kuklaus mano poelgio.

Kiekvienas jūsų paaukotas euras yra be galo svarbus. Kiiekvienas euras virs gerumu ir meile. Iš anksto nuoširdus ačiū!
