“A 26-year-old man from Kraków in the Małopolska Voivodeship, who has suffered from meningomyelocele since childhood. For years, he has been pursuing his greatest passion: table tennis. He represents Poland in this sport, and his greatest achievements include a bronze medal at the Paralympic Games, a bronze medal at the World Championships and medals at the European Championships. Representing Poland on the international stage is a huge honour for him and a source of motivation to keep working hard. Maksym is also interested in volleyball and the automotive world. He believes that passion, consistency and determination enable one to overcome barriers and realise even the most ambitious dreams. His immediate sporting goal is to qualify for and perform to the best of his ability at the Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. Every training session brings him closer to this goal and motivates him to continue developing."

Poland Business Run 2026 Beneficiary
“A 67-year-old woman from Jaworzno in the Silesian Voivodeship. Thirty-six years ago, she underwent a radical mastectomy of her left breast, and last year she also had a mastectomy of her right breast. Spending time with her beloved grandchildren brings her great joy and fulfilment. She also loves reading books and is a regular at the library, whilst in her spare time she knits socks. Iwona needs ongoing rehabilitation, as she struggles daily with back pain, numbness and swelling in her hands. Your contribution to PBR 2026 will enable her to take part in a post-mastectomy rehabilitation stay."
Piotr
Poland Business Run 2026 Beneficiary
“A 54-year-old man from Warsaw who, following a road traffic accident, had his right leg amputated above the knee. Initially, he walked with a prosthesis fitted with a traditional socket, but he found it uncomfortable. He therefore began looking for an alternative solution and, in 2021, underwent osseointegration surgery, which significantly improved his quality of life. Today, he is fully independent, uses his prosthesis all day long and drives a car. He is a happy husband and father of two daughters. He returned to work just six months after the accident and works in the sale and distribution of food products. Thanks to the support of the PBR 2026 athletes, he will take part in a post-amputation rehabilitation stay, which will enable him to strengthen the relevant muscle groups and improve his fitness."
