WHAT WILD RUN

The Wild Run is a special event organised by the UAnimals charity fund, where everyone can support wild animals in Ukraine. We are raising money for two national parks: Synevyr and Halychyna. For the first one, we will purchase equipment for the treatment and diagnosis of brown bears, and in the second one, we will help to build quarantine enclosures, feeders and a bathhouse for wild animals.

By registering for the race, you donate an initial contribution of 200 hryvnias, and then your friends can support you with donations during your run. The best part is that you are not obliged to run :) You can just walk around the neighbourhood with your dog or go for a walk with your friends - we will count any activity as a run :) If you want, you can come up with a wild animal costume to look like a wild animal, but without anyone getting hurt!

About UAnimals

At UAnimals, we believe that every life is equally valuable and we work to rescue as many animals as possible in Ukraine. We are guided by the belief that no animal should suffer or be exploited, regardless of its age, breed, colour or species. We support shelters, rehabilitation centres, nature parks and animal volunteers by providing them with food and medicines. In addition, we evacuate animals from the frontline areas, facilitate the sterilisation of stray animals and rebuild shelters destroyed by russian shelling. UAnimals has also launched a social campaign #StopEcocideUkraine to draw the world's attention to the ecocide that russia is committing in Ukraine during the war, killing animals and nature in general.
