Running three kilometers on a wonderful October morning will be good not just for your health, but for the kids as well.
The annual charity Race for Life will donate all the proceeds collected during the event to the children’s hospital Okhmatdyt that treats children with AIDS.
The action plan is simple: register for the run, buy a T-shirt with a number, and race your legs off. Running is not a requirement for participation, though. If you are in a mood to stroll for a good cause, you are welcome to it.
The race was started in 2001 as a project of the United Nations in Ukraine. This year it has been taken over by an All-Ukrainian charity association Equal to the Equal.
The UN staff as well as some celebrities will join the event.
Oct. 9, 11 a.m., Maidan Nezalezhnosti, 484-3730, 484-3968,
