Director of the Belgrade Marathon Visits Humanitarian Exhibition by Persons with Cerebral Palsy

The Belgrade Marathon and the Red Cross have been long-standing partners. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Red Cross volunteers, the organization of the largest sporting event on the streets of our capital city has been significantly improved and has gained a completely new dimension.

The cooperation has been successful and mutually satisfying, and the “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Humanitarian Foundation had the opportunity to return the support to the Red Cross through an exceptionally noble initiative.

This year, the Red Cross of Belgrade recognized the importance of the programs implemented by the Special Hospital for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Neurology. Accordingly, a humanitarian exhibition was held at the Army Hall (Dom Vojske) with the aim of empowering young artists with health disabilities and, above all, ensuring the sustainability of occupational therapy activities within the institution.
The exhibition was attended by Darko Habuš, Director of the Belgrade Marathon.

“Occupational therapy, conducted under the guidance of two academic painters, is a traditional activity that has a positive impact on the social inclusion of persons with disabilities. Therefore, the primary goal of this exhibition is to raise awareness about the importance of occupational therapy.
Programs like this, and similar initiatives, will always have our support,” said Darko Habuš.

The entire amount of donated funds collected through this exhibition will be allocated to the artists who create while living with these serious health conditions.
