The 100km Vondelrun for the Children of Ukraine

Ukraine is under attack, and millions of children have become victims...

Children shudder from explosions and shots. They wake up with the shrill sounds of sirens and fall asleep in the basement. Kindergartens, maternity hospitals, and shelters where families seek refuge are becoming targets. They need our help.

My name is Nick Hansen, and once a year, I do an extreme physical challenge to encourage fitness and raise money for a devastating cause.

More about the day of the challenge

Date: On the 23rd of April, which falls on a Sunday.

Running distance: 100 kilometers.

Expected duration: 12-14 hours.

Starting time: 08:00.

Location: Vondelpark, Amsterdam.

Route: 30 circles around the Vondelpark.

Event details: Throughout the day, numerous friends and family members will be joining the run, with distances ranging from 5 to 50 kilometers to support the cause and help me get through the run.

Supporter stands: Starting from 13:00, we will have supporter stands with music, free drinks, and BBQ. So, if you are in the neighborhood and you want a hot dog and a beer, you are more than welcome to come and join the party.

What will the funds be used for?

"With your donation, we are providing non-stop psychological support for the children who suffer the consequences of war. More than 50 psychologists are already working with us. We are helping to evacuate families with children, seeking housing for them, and providing them with food and clothing. Please support us so that more children and their families suffering from war receive psychological help and can find shelter."

Psychosocial Support and Rehabilitation of Children and Parents Affected by the War

Non-stop assistance is provided to children and their parents who have been affected by war since the first days of full-scale invasion. This assistance is implemented through individual and group support in our centers, art therapy, online support through a psychological support line and chatbot, mobile psychological groups in rural areas that were under occupation or active combat operations, rehabilitation for children with disabilities, and the organization of camps and recreational activities.

Advocacy to Support the Child's Voice in Society

We advocate for child rights, monitor the topic of children's rights in war conditions, and draw attention to the problems faced by children, especially during times of war.

Targeted Humanitarian Aid in Wartime and Targeted Support for Children and Families

We provide targeted humanitarian aid to Ukrainians affected by war, including the purchase of necessary items, financial assistance, preparation of bomb shelters in schools, and counseling services to families who have nowhere to turn.
