Run Slovakia - Let’s Get Slovakia Running Helps

Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc., are a serious problem all over the world, Slovakia included. One of the basic helpers in the fight against these civilization diseases is appropriate regular movement. Probably the whole mankind knows this, but not all of them practice it, use it in the fight against diseases. The partners Rozběháme Česko www.rozbehamecesko.cz and Beh.sk www.beh.sk decided to join forces, several years of experience in the field of promoting a healthy lifestyle through regular sports and to offer Slovaks places where they can meet under the guidance of trained ambassadors and do appropriate sports together. Identified potential barriers economic, social or inclusive will be addressed to encourage participation of as many diverse participants as possible. In the Czechia they put that to the next level. Through regular sporting activities, participants support financially local charities. They do it in Czechia since 2013, raised over €625ths. Project aims to replicate this success in Slovakia, plus bring digital interface. Through regular sport physical and mental health will improve, which will have a positive effect on the individual's environment and on the health of the population involved, in turn reducing healthcare spending, etc. The project encourages the involvement of local communities in other common activities such as volunteering, social engagement or joint participation in the democratic life of the community. The project is part of the activities of Rozbeháme Slovensko. This project aims to get people moving and give their running/movement a higher meaning. The project strives for our everyday small heroics. By stepping out of your comfort zone and adding your energy in the form of movement to financial support, you become stronger and more resilient. You beat your comfort zone, you help others, and you help yourself. Anytime, anywhere. That's what makes this project unique.
