Hello everyone :)!
Today we'd like to tell you about the KILOMETRY POMOCY foundation.
One of SKILL & CHILL's key values is doing good and helping people in need. That's why we joined the organization behind charitable events. In 2021, we became an official sponsor of the Kilometry Pomocy foundation.
Kilometry Pomocy organizes many kinds of charity initiatives, including sports challenges. As the name suggests, these challenges are mainly about collecting kilometers. How do you collect kilometers? Through different physical activities: running, walking, Nordic walking, rollerblading and cycling — all for charity. The events are not only for long-distance runners or professional athletes. Many participants simply want to help, even if they do not train every day. Finishing time is not what matters. What matters is a good heart and the desire to support people in need. Are you one of them?
The fantastic atmosphere at Kilometry Pomocy events means every charity initiative attracts large numbers of participants. Last year, alongside charity runs, we also had an opportunity to take part in winter swimming — and the turnout was huge.
Cold-water swimming is becoming an increasingly popular form of recreation. As you probably know, it involves briefly immersing yourself in low-temperature water. Kilometry Pomocy combines charitable goals with enjoyable and useful activity. Because of the sudden change in temperature, cold-water swimming can stimulate the cardiovascular system, strengthen the body's resilience and, at the same time, be great fun.
2022 also started at full speed. Kilometry Pomocy organized a run on the Przełęcz–Tąpadła–Ślęża route on 8 January, with as many as 290 participants. For some, completing the route once was not enough of a challenge. The record-holder reached the top of Ślęża 17 times!
Last Sunday, Kilometry Pomocy organized another event — a run for Lenka's health. We saw first-hand the huge emotions among people who gathered to participate. The foundation team also deserves recognition for the commitment and professional organization of such a large sporting event. You're amazing!
At SKILL & CHILL we like sports challenges. Even though we work remotely, we pay a lot of attention to maintaining good physical condition and regularly challenge one another. Most importantly, we like helping others. That's why we decided to join the Kilometry Pomocy team — we genuinely believe in their mission and commitment.
Every charity event can be a lifeline for someone who needs medical treatment. Treatment costs are often not reimbursed, and an average family may be unable to save such a large amount quickly enough. Asking for help is not always easy, but it is worth remembering that organizations with generous people — like Kilometry Pomocy — are out there.
We are proud to be part of such a great organization and to help together with them!
Good comes back — let's remember that :)
