Wife of fallen defender to participate in MHP Run4Victory race in Lutsk

On September 7, Lutsk will host the MHP Run4Victory charity race, held under the slogan "Running for those who fight. Remembering those who gave their lives." This time, all funds raised will be directed to the needs of soldiers of the 100th separate mechanized brigade, reports UNN.

Among the participants is 28-year-old Viktoria Chaika, the wife of the fallen Armed Forces of Ukraine captain Pavlo Chaika – a cyborg, marathon runner, and the first full Cavalier of the Order "For Courage" in Ukraine.

For me, this is a way to express respect and love for my husband. Pavlo lived with dignity; people should follow his example. And this memory cannot simply disappear

Last year, she already participated in Run4Victory, and this time she will not only run the 10 km distance but also organize her own race – "Legendary Ten" in honor of her husband, which will take place on September 28 in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka.

I want people to run through the streets where Pavlo trained, where he prepared for his competitions. During his life, he was called a legend. The organizers and I are preparing a thousand medals with his portrait for the finishers

According to Chaika, running was an integral part of their family life.

Others went to discos, but we went to bed early and got up for a run. In 2018, Pavlo participated in the Marine Corps Marathon in America. It was a time of his rehabilitation. Running became a part of our lives
