Matvey smiles when he talks about his training. The boy has spina bifida, he moves around in a wheelchair, and his legs lack sensation. But Matvey has something many adults should borrow—perseverance and a love for sports.
Since childhood, Matvey has been engaged in swimming and freediving. Thanks to the foundation's sports project, he was able to reach a new level: now he trains professionally, participates in the foundation's sports festivals, and demonstrates significant achievements. For him, sports have become not just a hobby, but a way to prove to the world that human potential is limitless.
Anna connects children with spina bifida to sports. She finds partners and adaptive sports coaches in Moscow and across Russia’s regions, and organizes festivals, training sessions, and workshops. She makes it possible for children with spinal conditions to participate in major sporting events.
The foundation is not just volunteers. It is professionals who are developing adaptive sports in Rossiya with quality. Anna's work is her profession. It requires full dedication, travel to the regions, constant learning, and communication.
When we raise funds for equipment or treatment, it seems obvious. But without a coordinator who organizes the entire process, the equipment will remain in boxes and the treatment will not begin.
We are launching a fundraiser to pay the salary of the head of the sports project. Let's support sports for those with spina bifida!
