Project 6 | Q2 2026
BEN hilft! – Stark gegen DIPG e.V.
Netphen, Germany
Even if things don’t go quite as planned, special moments can still happen.
Antje and I had originally planned to meet in person for the donation handover. Unfortunately, severe thunderstorms made that impossible, so we held the handover virtually instead.
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we were able to donate €2,966 to BEN hilft! — Stark gegen DIPG e.V.
This donation will provide direct support to children and families affected by DIPG, a rare and highly aggressive brain tumour. It will also help fund vital research, as there is still no cure for this devastating disease.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined the Quarter Charity Run, made a donation, or supported this project in any way. Every contribution has helped bring hope to children and families facing an incredibly difficult journey.
Project 5 | Q1 2026
hair. dignity. children.
Vienna, Austria
a moment of impact.
Together, we raised 1,860 € for the organisation Die Haarspender.
This donation will help create 5 wigs for children who have lost their hair due to illness.
But this is about more than wigs. It is about giving children a piece of normality back.
not just hair.
but confidence.
strength.
and a smile.
Meeting the project and understanding their work made this impact even more real.
Each wig is handmade, created with care, and given to children free of charge – made possible only through donations and support.
What we achieved together shows the power of movement. Every run, every ride, every effort became something meaningful for a child.
Thank you to everyone who moved, donated and supported this project.
Project 4 | Q4 2025
running for children - enabling them to swim
Hamburg, Germany
A very special moment for 42.195 for children.
With Q4/2025, movement turned into water safety.
I handed over a donation of EUR 1,911 to Yes - We Swim! - e.V. – supporting children in gaining access to swimming skills and confidence in the water. Especially for children who otherwise might not have access to swimming education.
Swimming is more than a sport.
It is safety.
It is self-trust.It can save lives.
Meeting Juliane, seeing the children swim and getting to know the trainers gave this handover a deeper meaning. This is where impact is tangible. Not in numbers, but in people.
EUR 1,911 were collected through shared kilometres and collective commitment.
Every contribution mattered.
Thank you for moving.
Thank you for supporting.

running for children in Cuba
Havanna, Cuba
A very special day for 42.195 for children.
I had the honour of handing over a donation of EUR 2,128 to Camaquito in Cuba.
Camaquito is a non-profit organisation creating access to sports, education, culture and environmental programmes for children, young people and families. The donation was accepted by Maikel Amalie, ambassador for Camaquito and a well-known Cuban actress with a big heart for children.
This was my first visit to Cuba. I travelled with curiosity and excitement - inspired by the country, its people, its culture and history. What impressed me most was the incredible joy and zest for life felt in every street of Havana.
The donation was made possible thanks to many dedicated runners and generous donors.
