Оновлення стартового набору: трафарет та крейда

Як дізнатися, що вже дуже скоро «Пробіг під каштанами»?

 

Ні, не з календаря — з початку цвітіння каштанів! Як тільки з’являються свічечки каштанів, ми знаємо, що час готувати кросівки й робити добрі справи.

 

Каштани — це не просто про весну в Києві. Це про життя, яке розквітає попри все. Про нашу єдність, силу, турботу. І саме вони, ці зелені велетні з білими свічками — символ «Пробігу під каштанами». Бо з ними — і перший старт, і перше «давай-давай!», і фініш із мокрою спиною, усмішкою до вух і думкою: «Я зробив(-ла) це не просто так».

 

І вже дуже скоро — ми знову разом! Хтось стартуватиме на Хрещатику, хтось — з подвір’я свого будинку в Черкасах, хтось — у лісі під Вільнюсом, а хтось — на набережній у Лісабоні. Бігтимемо кожен своїм маршрутом, але з єдиною метою — підтримати тих, хто цього потребує.

 

Цьогоріч ми хочемо зібрати ці маршрути докупи, щоб побачити, де біжать наші любі пробігівці. Саме тому у стартовому наборі на вас чекає цікавинка — трафарет каштану та кольорова крейда.

 

Що з ними робити?

 

Коли ви вийдете на свій маршрут — будь-де в Україні чи за кордоном:

— Візьміть трафарет і крейду;
— Намалюйте свої «каштанові» кроки на асфальті (трафарет — це лише поштовх до ідеї, а далі все у ваших руках: малюйте каштани з візерунками, з написами та іншими ідеями, адже кожен малюнок — це ваша особиста історія);
— Сфотографуйте або зніміть відео;
— Відмітьте локацію, де біжите;
— Поділіться з нами в соціальних мережах.

 

А ми зберемо всі ці «каштанові» кроки — і намалюємо одну велику карту любові.

 

Кожна така позначка — це нагадування: ми поруч, навіть якщо нас розділяють кілометри.
