Every year, well-known Ukrainians — actors, TV hosts, musicians, influencers, and cultural figures — join in supporting the “Chestnut Run” to help draw attention to the needs of young patients at the Ukrainian Ministry of Health’s Center for Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery.

For many of them, participating in the Run has already become a cherished tradition ahead of Kyiv Day. At the same time, each year new caring individuals join the charitable initiative, inspiring others by their example to support children with congenital heart defects.

This year, the 33rd “Chestnut Run” was supported by:

— actor couple Ihor Rubashkin and Kseniia Vertynska, who are joining the Run for the second time,
— Ukrainian singer MamaRika (Anastasiia Sereda),
— TV host and actress Liudmyla Barbir,
— шоумен and host Andrii Dzhedzhula,
— journalist Oksana Hutsait,
— choreographer Yevhen Kot,
— TV host and actress Dariia Trehubova,
— theater and film actors Anhelina Samchyk, Anastasiia Tsymbalaru, Dariia Leheida, Anastasiia Nesternenko, Alona Yakymenko,
— actor and serviceman Maks Devizorov, who is currently defending Ukraine in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Each ambassador supports the Run not only by spreading awareness, but also through personal participation and sincere attention to the issue of children’s heart health and the importance of supporting the Center.

It is thanks to people like them that charity becomes visible, and support becomes truly meaningful for those who need it most today.

Join the 33rd “Chestnut Run” and run for little hearts.
