“A 53-year-old man from Przeworsk in the Subcarpathian voivodeship. Due to complications from diabetes, he has his left leg amputated at thigh level. His dream is to return to his former lifestyle, move around independently and be fully independent. He hopes that with the funding he has received for rehabilitation holidays he will be able to move around with his prosthetic leg and gain the necessary knowledge on how to function efficiently in everyday life with it. He wants to return to work and to a normal life. Up to now, he has worked as a civil servant and has been involved in a wide range of investment areas. He is interested in sport, film, law and motoring. He also enjoys hiking, especially mountain hiking."

“A 51-year-old woman from Słabuszewice, Świętokrzyskie voivodeship. In 2015, she contracted atherosclerosis of the arteries and veins, resulting in the amputation of her left leg above the knee. Since then, she has been moving around in a wheelchair and on crutches. She also currently has problems with her spine and with walking with a prosthesis. She used to be very active, working as a juror in court, among other things, but now, because of her health problems, she spends her time mainly at home, reading books or solving crosswords. Thanks to the PBR runners, she will take part in a rehabilitation camp after her amputation and, with the right exercises, she will be able to reduce her back pain and learn to walk with a prosthesis. As a result, she will become more active and independent and it will make it easier for her to go for walks, for example."

“A 39-year-old man from Pruszków in the Mazowieckie voivodeship. In 2013, as a result of an accident at work, he lost his left leg. Since then, he has been living and functioning relatively normally, although he admits that it is not easy. Recently, he has had a new passion - fencing, which he trains at a sports club in Warsaw. He also loves football and now, when he cannot play himself, he faithfully supports his favourite team. His biggest dream is to return to the job that is also his passion and favourite, namely carpentry. It's something he loves and knows how to do best, so the new prosthesis he received in 2023 enables him to become active professionally and opens up new opportunities for him. This year, as a beneficiary of the Foundation, he will receive funding for a rehabilitation holiday and will be able to undergo gait training with a prosthesis."
