Popular humanitarian race '5k' will be held as a part of Du Motion racing events this year again, along with the Dubrovnik Half Marathon. Money will be collected for Nevio Kresic, six year old from Konavle and the only person in Croatia diagnosed with Mayewski osteoplastic primordial dwarfism type two – disease he shares with only 50 people around the world.
That's a disease that is characterized by short growth and frequent strokes, and people with this type of disease usually live up to 20 years old. Despite a rare disease of which very little is known about and struggle with frequent operations, Nevio shines the sincere kid's energy and courage at the first sight.
He won the hearts of Du Motion team as well and so they want, with the help of their runners, to help him walk through life easier.
Race for Nevia will be run on Sunday, April 30 from Stradun, around the Walls, to the Gruz Pool, back across Boninovo to Stradun, and its lenght is suitable for amateurs and beginners. Price entry fee is symbolic 60 kuna, and all registered runners will receive a commemorative 5K T-shirt and a medal.
Locals and their guests have already shown a big heart last year when they gathered more than 40 thousand kuna for the treatment of young Dubrovnik girl Karla Sentic.
It's time to do the same thing for Nevio! Du Motion therefore invites you to join this charity race and give him support through running and cheering on Stradun.
Dubrovnik and their guests have already been shown to have a big heart when at last year's edition of "5K" race gathered more than 40 thousand for the treatment of young people from Dubrovnik Karla Sentić.
