Today, I took part in something truly exceptional: I rode my bike for money! :) During the  „Masa na Autyzm” social campaign, The Orange Foundation paid PLN 5 for every kilometre for early diagnosis of autistic children and their treatment. More than a thousand people took part in this ride, I invited my friends, and we had a really great time together

Our cycling adventure started in a park, where many attractions were waiting for us. We painted a sail, kids learnt how to use the Morse alphabet, knot ropes...

We rode along the streets of Warsaw, I met great people then, whole families were on their biked, with kids in small carts pulled by their parents, one gentleman had a dog in the basket! I wouldn’t have thought that a 12-kilometre route is so short! :)

Health, sport, and a good cause - it is a great combination! Moreover, there were attractive prizes at the end, such as watches, theatre tickets, spa vouchers and ... new bicycles! Emotions were really high, everyone wanted to win, but also knew that he/she had just done something good for others. We all had a great time, and we collected PLN 75 thousand!
It is such a great feeling! Janka Konarska can be even more proud. She won a bicycle, but as she already has one, she decided to give one to an orphanage. I love such people, I admire their hearts, their will to share with others. Thank you very much for that!
