Bolshe Chem Mozhesh Foundation

Генеральный благотворительный фонд-партнёр Ночного забега в 2026 году — Больше Чем Можешь.

Уже 10 лет фонд развивает инклюзию в спорте и помогает людям с инвалидностью не просто жить активной жизнью, а становиться настоящими спортсменами — вопреки диагнозам и стереотипам. Проводит регулярные тренировки по ОФП и бегу в 7 городах России. Подопечные — люди с ДЦП, синдромом Дауна, повреждениями ОДА и другими заболеваниями, при которых спорт, как правило, недоступен. Также фонд помогает ветеранам боевых действий вернуться в ритм жизни через движение.

Благодаря помощи волонтеров, профессиональных тренеров и реабилитологов, подопечные, которые не могли сделать и шаг, финишируют на марафонах и других соревнованиях.

Сделать свой вклад в развитие инклюзии в спорте можно на специальной странице фонда и Бегового сообщества.
