There are moments when a community shows that solidarity knows no borders and that personal commitment can move mountains. For us, the team of the "E DARul lui Natty" Association, these signs of support are the energy that carries us forward in our mission.
One such special moment took shape at the Dragomirna Marathon, where Dr. Liviu Gavrilovici chose to turn an endurance challenge into a powerful message of support for children with incurable illnesses.
A neurosurgeon takes his calling beyond the operating room
Dr. Liviu Gavrilovici, a dedicated neurosurgeon who saves lives every day, takes his calling beyond the operating room. By deciding to run the full 42-kilometer marathon, he lays every step of the course as a foundation stone for the first pediatric palliative care center in Suceava County: Hana Hospice.
The meaning of the 42 kilometers: a profound gesture of empathy
This marathon is not just a test of physical endurance, but a profound gesture of empathy. The 42 kilometers symbolize the long and often arduous road traveled by the families of children with serious illnesses.
Through his exceptional effort, the doctor raises the alarm and invites the whole community to look toward the future center in Cumpărătura. There, 26 beds will mean 26 refuges full of comfort, dignity and love for the little ones and their families.
Sport and good deeds at the Dragomirna Marathon
We are honored by the doctor's presence at the start of the Dragomirna Marathon. We thank the organizers, ACS TRIB Suceava, for the wonderful setting they created, bringing sports lovers together around good deeds, and for their openness in giving the doctor the chance to speak about our cause before the start.
It is a true joy to be part of a community that understands that good deeds do not compete with one another, but complement each other, forming a safety net for the most vulnerable among us.
Support the Hana Hospice project with us!
We invite you to stand with Dr. Liviu Gavrilovici in this challenge, to cheer him on, and to carry the story of Hana Hospice further.
Every kilometer he runs is a brick laid for our shared dream: creating a place where no child and no family has to face suffering alone.
Together, step by step, we are building Hana Hospice!
