URCS marks 108th anniversary with charity run for veterans

The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) marked its 108th anniversary with a charity run in support of veterans.

"The symbolic distance of 1.8 kilometers became a gesture of gratitude and a reminder of our shared responsibility to those who defended Ukraine. More than 150 employees, volunteers and partners took part in the run," the URCS said on Facebook.

The charity run took place on Friday at the Expocenter of Ukraine national complex in Kyiv.

The funds raised will be directed toward veterans' rehabilitation programs, provision of adaptive clothing and tableware, as well as financial support for their adaptation to civilian life.

Interactive workshops were also held at the venue, where participants could learn first aid, gain basic psychosocial support skills, and learn more about mine risks.
