CHF 110'510.80 for childrens in switzerland

Around 600 employees from Zurich-based companies were joined by numerous individual runners to take part in this event in Zürichhorn on 25 October 2015. All in all, the runners at the 15th annual run4kids event completed 7673 laps of the course in the space of two hours. Many of them were reminded of their worthwhile efforts on the following day thanks to their aching muscles. The proceeds of CHF 110,510.80 from the 2015 run have been allocated to Kinderspitex plus and fit4future, two organisations that have been campaigning for well-being and healthy living among children in Switzerland for a number of years.

Organisations funded in 2015

Stiftung Kind und Familie

Caring for severely disabled and sick children at home reduces the chances of their health deteriorating and promotes the healing process. But at the same time, providing this level of care can be a source of an unimaginable amount of long-term stress for their parents. That’s why Stiftung Kind und Familie (KiFa Switzerland) is committed to lightening the load for families with severely disabled and sick children with its various projects. This Kinderspitex organisation cares for around 90 children throughout the whole of German-speaking Switzerland, providing in excess of 30,000 hours of care each year.

All donations will go to the “Kinderspitex plus” fund with the aim of achieving the CHF 370,000 funding target for 2015. www.stiftung-kifa.ch
