The “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation has once again put its humanitarian mission into action in the most effective way possible.
With the aim of improving the position of persons with disabilities, which is one of the core principles of the Foundation’s work, a humanitarian SMS number – 3023 – has been introduced and has been active since March 1.
By sending an SMS with the text HEROJI to 3023, 200.00 dinars will be donated, with the funds dedicated to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities.

The importance of launching this humanitarian initiative is best illustrated by the fact that as many as 730,000 people in Serbia are persons with disabilities, representing around 10 percent of the country’s population.
Statistical data also show that only 13 percent of them are employed, which means that a large number of persons with disabilities live in poverty.
Through this continuous donation initiative, the “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation aims to ensure that concrete assistance reaches those who need it the most. This humanitarian campaign will be carried out under the slogan “Love in Motion.”

Ahead of the 37th Comtrade Belgrade Marathon, which will take place on April 28, support for persons with disabilities is also coming from the running community in Serbia.
Back in 2016, runners across Serbia began selling the kilometers they ran, and over the course of four years nearly three million dinars were raised.
This initiative, known as “SMS for a Kilometer,” is now returning in a big way. Running enthusiasts across Serbia will run in support of the “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation, while the kilometers will be purchased by sending an SMS message to the number 3023.
