We run to support charitable initiatives and to show our support to those living with diabetes.
The idea behind the 12th edition of the GOCC Run is to support two of our initiatives - the first one is, traditionally, focused on the purchase of personal insulin pumps for pregnant women with diabetes and, which is a novelty, to finance the running of our educational programme, which aims to introduce primary school children to the basics of first aid and CPR knowledge. All funds raised through the purchase of runners' packs go towards financing these two programmes.
The family-friendly 5K run will take 5000 runners across the capital city - highlighting the importance of healthy choices. We also aim to draw public attention to the global diabetes epidemic and kick-start the day with a dose of healthy competition.

For those based outside Warsaw - there are similar sporting initiatives held by local Collection Centres across Poland. This friendly competition is a great way of bringing communities together and promoting healthy lifestyles.
