A week ago, the MHP Run4Victory charity marathon took place in Kyiv. Among others, veteran Oleksiy Lobanok took part in it. He completed the 21 km marathon on a prosthetic leg, reports UNN.
Details
Lobanok joined the 66th separate mechanized brigade as a sapper at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. After a serious injury and amputation, he promised himself that the trauma and prosthesis would not change his life. Today he is a mentor of physical development and safety at the Kyiv branch of the Ukrainian Leadership Academy, where he continues to share his strength of spirit and knowledge with young people.
Interestingly, his students from the Ukrainian Leadership Academy ran alongside the veteran. About 80 participants of the Academy did not just come to the start - they opened their own collection to support the 13th NGU Brigade "Khartia" and collected UAH 100,000.
In total, the MHP Run4Victory race in Kyiv raised more than 2 million hryvnias.
