“A 70-year-old woman from Kędzierzyn-Koźle in the Opole Voivodeship. A lively pensioner who, as a result of atherosclerosis, lost one leg at the lower leg height in 2024 and the other at the thigh in 2025. Since receiving her prostheses at the end of last year, her goal has been to learn to walk again. She has already taken part in a rehabilitation stay at the ‘Znowu w Biegu’ Centre, which greatly helped her to strengthen her body and showed her how to continue her exercises with a physiotherapist at home. She is a resilient woman who loves her family and close ones, and every day she shows them her fortitude and her fight for the future."

“A 46-year-old man from Kraków in the Małopolska Voivodeship had his legs amputated due to illness. He uses prosthetic legs, which enable him to resume his daily life and regain his independence. Sport and physical activity have always been his passion, as he enjoys challenges and pushing his own limits. As he says, despite his difficult health experiences, he has not lost his motivation; on the contrary, he has become even more determined to take action. His dream is to continue developing, to return more fully to an active life, and to inspire others not to give up. The runners of PBR 2026 will provide him with a post-amputation rehabilitation stay, which will improve his fitness and independence. As Tomasz points out, taking part in the Business Run is not just about sport for him, but also a symbol of the journey he has been on and a motivation to keep going."

“A 46-year-old man from Kraków in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, who had his leg amputated in 2025 due to illness. He works as an interior decorator and, as he admits, his work is his great passion. In his spare time, he likes to relax by watching science and nature programmes and spending time with his wife. He’s also quite good at cooking, and his favourite dishes to prepare are salads. The runners taking part in the Poland Business Run will help fund his lower-limb prosthesis, which will enable him to play an active role in both his professional and family life."
